Abstract

The present study determined the normal reference ranges for overall pelvic limb alignment of small-breed dogs. For this purpose, 60 cadaveric canine pelvic limbs from normal small-breed dogs (Maltese, Poodle, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier). A frontal full-limb radiograph of each pelvic limb was obtained, and mechanical tibiofemoral angle (mTFA), mechanical metatarsotibial angle (mMTTA), mechanical axis-femur angle (MAFA), and mechanical axis-metatarsus angle (MAMTA) were measured from each radiograph, along with mechanical deviation of the stifle (SMAD) and tarsal joints (TMAD). The 95% CI for radiographic values of all pelvic limbs were mTFA, 5.7-7.4; mMTTA, $-2.2--0.8^{\circ}$; MAFA, $3.5-4.5^{\circ}$; MAMTA, 1.0-2.0; SMAD, 2.1-2.7%; TMAD, 0.5-1.0%. There values varied among the breeds, except for mTFA. The reference ranges can be used for diagnosing pelvic limb deformities in small-breed dogs and for planning corrective osteotomies.

후지 전체의 정렬 평가에 필요한 정렬각도의 정상치를 측정하기 위하여, 정형외과적 질환이 없고 육안 또는 방사선 검사에서 각기형이 없는 것으로 판단되는 소형견 사체(말티즈, 푸들, 시추, 요크셔테리어) 의 후지 60개를 사용하였다. 각각의 후지를 완전히 신장시켜 전면 방사선 사진을 촬영하였으며, 이를 통해 기계적경골대퇴골각도(mechanical tibiofemoral angle, mTFA), 기계적중족경골각도 (mechanical metatarsotibial angle (mMTTA) 기계축-대퇴각도(mechanical axis-femur angle (MAFA), 기계축-중족각도(mechanical axis-metatarsus angle (MAMTA)을 측정하였으며, 무릎관절과 뒷발목관절의 기계축변위(mechanical axis deviation, SMAD or TMAD)의 평균값과 95% 신뢰구간 값을 전체 그리고 품종별로 측정하였다. 소형견 전체의 mTFA, MTTA, MAFA, MAMTA의 95% 신뢰구간 값은 각각 $5.7-7.4^{\circ}$, $-2.2--0.8^{\circ}$, $3.5-4.5^{\circ}$, $1.0-2.0^{\circ}$였으며, SMAD와 TMAD는 2.1-2.7%, 0.5-1.0%로 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 소형견의 후지정렬 측정법과 정상치는 소형견종의 후지 각기형의 진단 및 평가, 수술 계획에 있어 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.
