Clinical and morphological justification of the treatment of purulonecrotic lesion in deep structures of limb distal segment in pig: case report

ABSTRACT Surgical pathology of the musculoskeletal system, and in particular the diseases of the limb distal segment in pigs are quite common. Their significant spread leads to economic losses due to culling, compulsory slaughter, short-received pig production and pig crop. The purpose of this work was to reveal clinical and morphological features of limb distal segment diseases in pigs and to study the possibility of preserving their health and productivity. The conservative treatment of purulonecrotic lesions in the deep structures of the limb distal segment in pigs is not promising. It is shown that the best way to treat a given pathology is amputation of a sick limb. The technique of carrying out exarticulation of talus shin consists in separation of soft tissues, capsule and ligaments, ligation of vessels, formation of stump. The postoperative recovery period of the animal body is 25 days.

摘要：猪肌肉骨骼系统外科病理学，尤其是猪肢远端节段病变较为高发。该类病变的广泛流行会因猪只淘汰、强制屠宰、生猪生产周期缩短以及生猪存栏量缩减而造成显著经济损失。本研究旨在明确猪肢远端节段病变的临床与形态学特征，并探究维持其健康状态与生产性能的可行路径。针对猪肢远端节段深部组织的化脓坏死性病变实施保守治疗，效果欠佳。研究表明，治疗该类病变的最优方案为对患病肢体实施截肢术。距骨小腿关节离断术的操作流程包括分离软组织、关节囊与韧带，结扎血管并完成残端成型。该术式后动物的术后康复周期为25天。
