| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted on “Designing and evaluation of artificial limb prostheses in dogs”. Among a total of 1001 canine cases referred to Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, College of Veterinary Science, Tirupati from January to December 2017, 202 cases were related to orthopaedic ailments wherein, 14 cases were not suitable for surgical management and required amputation as a salvage procedure. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria six animals were utilized for the study. Detailed clinical, orthopaedic and neurological examinations were carried out on the cases included in the study. The animals had crush injuries with loss of muscle, bone, cutaneous tissue, open wound and neoplasia. In all the animals, amputation or disarticulation was performed as per the case. Biochemical parameters like calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were estimated at 0, 7, 14 and 21 days post surgery. The calcium and phosphorus values showed nonsignificant changes whereas, alkaline phosphatase levels showed significant change in the present study. Skiagrams taken provided information about types of fractures, bones involved and level to which amputation or disarticulation to be performed. After amputation or disarticulation measurements were taken on contralateral limb to prepare prosthetic limb. Various steps like measurement recording, contouring of the angulation, identification of pressure points, negative casting, filling the cast, moulding with HDPE pipe, padding with ethylene foam and preparation of edges with Velcro and belt were carried out. The prepared prosthetic limbs were applied to the animals after complete healing. Outcome of the prosthetic limb usage was characterized by its acceptance, functioning, loosening or break of the material. The owners were advised to practice the adaptation of the prosthetic limb to the animal at regular interval for better outcome | en_US |
