Resumo: A clinical case of non-union in a cat after open fracture repair by intramedullary ostheosynthesis of the radius was described. The patient was presented with non-weight bearing lameness, fistulas with purulent discharge, swelling and severe pain. During the surgical revision, after bone sequestrum removal, the bone defect was filled with cancellous and cortical bone autografts. Osteosynthesis with a modified external bone fixator, made of Duracryl® Plus – a rapidly self-curing metacrylate polymer – and 6 Kirschner wires passing perpendicularly through both radial cortices was performed. The post-operative period was smooth, and after 23 weeks the external fixator was removed. Radiography showed very good bone healing, with excellent clinical result. The use of the ulna as a donor bone was very convenient because it allowed collecting a cortical graft of larger size. The extremely light model of external bone fixator provided adequate strength of fixation elements and proved to be an efficient and not expensive technique for osteosynthesis in cat with non-union fractures of the distal radius and ulna.

O paciente apresentou claudicação, fístulas com secreção purulenta, edema e dor intensa. Durante a revisão cirúrgica, após a remoção do sequestro ósseo, o defeito ósseo foi preenchido com autoenxertos de osso esponjoso e cortical. Foi realizada osteossíntese com fixador ósseo externo modificado, confeccionado em Duracryl® Plus – polímero metacrilato de rápida autopolimerização – e 6 fios de Kirschner passando perpendicularmente por ambas as corticais radiais. O pós-operatório foi tranquilo e após 23 semanas o fixador externo foi removido. A radiografia mostrou boa consolidação óssea, com excelente resultado clínico. A utilização da ulna como osso doador foi muito conveniente, pois permitiu a coleta de um enxerto cortical de maior tamanho. O modelo extremamente leve de fixador ósseo externo proporcionou resistência adequada dos elementos de fixação e mostrou-se uma técnica eficiente e de baixo custo para osteossíntese em gatos com fraturas não consolidadas do rádio distal e ulnaSociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2022-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/126010.29374/2527-2179.bjvm003322Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 44 (2022); e003322Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 44 (2022); e0033222527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1260/1264https://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1260/1274Copyright (c) 2022 Radka Garnoeva, Rumen Roydev, Mehmed Halilhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGarnoeva, RadkaRoydev, RumenHalil, Mehmed2022-10-10T13:57:54Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1260Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2022-10-10T13:57:54Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
