Özet

This study was performed on 11 dogs diagnosed with traumatic coxofemoral luxation. The direction of the luxations, the operation details, postoperative complications, and radiographic evaluation were recorded during the study. The study utilized the toggle pin technique, which provided open-reduction techniques for the treatment of coxofemoral luxations. Polyester multifilament braided sutures with commercial toggle pins were employed in three cases, whereas toggle pins obtained from Kirschner wire and monofilament nylon suture material were performed in eight patients. Clinical and radiographic monitoring of postoperative lameness, complications, pain, and infection were assessed and recorded for comparison. Postoperative reluxation was observed in two cases in which multifilament braided polyester suture material was performed without other complications. In the cases without reluxation, it was noted that the animals used their limbs comfortably on the 1st postoperative day, and their lameness scores were 0 on the 7th postoperative day. As a result of the findings, the toggle pin technique using monofilament nylon suture could effectively treat coxofemoral luxations in dogs.
