  • Title: Tarsometatarsal subluxation in dogs: partial arthrodesis by plate fixation.
    Author: Muir P, Norris JL.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 1999; 35(2):155-62. PubMed ID: 10102184.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective study of tarsometatarsal joint subluxation in eight dogs, secondary fractures were identified in six dogs, particularly of the fourth tarsal bone and the proximal fifth metatarsal bone. Common causes of tarsometatarsal joint injury included jumping or falling and direct trauma to the foot. Partial tarsal arthrodesis, with the use of bone-plate stabilization and cancellous bone grafting of joint spaces after removal of articular cartilage, led to progressive bone healing in all dogs. Implant breakage did not occur in any dog.
