Özet

Ectrodactyly is a rare anomaly seen in the appendicular skeleton and characterized by a cleft or split between bone and soft tissue in the distal regions of the extremities. Ectrodactyly may be associated with the absence and hypoplasia of several carpal-metacarpal bones, phalanx duplication, or metacarpal synostosis. In this case report, a 2-years-old mixed breed male dog was presented withhold up the left forelimb and inspectional abnormality with a cleft. In the radiographic images, it was observed that the fourth phalanx and the fourth distal carpal bone were absent in the related extremity, the cleft extended up to the carpal joint and there was an incongruity between the radius and ulna. The cleft between the metacarpal bones was stabilized using 2 lag screws and corticocancellous bone graft. The incongruity between the carpal joints was eliminated by pancarpal arthrodesis and ulna ostectomy was performed for the incongruity between radius and ulna. It has been observed that postoperative physical therapy exercises with correlated methods have positive long-term results in the related extremity.
