Treatment of a femoral septic nonunion in a dog with interlocking nail stabilization associated to corticospongious bone autograft and greater omentum flap: case report

ABSTRACT Chronic septic bone nonunion requires a well-designed therapeutic planning, demanding a multimodal treatment to achieve bone consolidation and elimination of infection. A successful case of an association of the major omentum flap with surgical stabilization with an interlocking nail for treatment of a femoral septic nonunion in dog is reported. The patient had partial functional return of the limb 30 days after surgery, negative bacterial culture with radiographic signs of bone healing and total functional return of the limb at 90th days after the surgical procedure.摘要：慢性感染性骨不连需制定精心设计的治疗方案，需采用多模态治疗以实现骨愈合并清除感染。本文报告1例联合应用大网膜瓣与交锁钉手术固定治疗犬股骨感染性骨不连的成功病例。患犬于术后30天实现患肢部分功能恢复，细菌培养结果为阴性且影像学可见骨愈合征象，术后90天患肢完全恢复功能。
