  • Title: [Therapeutic procedure of a complicated septic epiphyseal osteomyelitis in a heifer. A case report].

    Abstract:
    A 19-month-old Holstein-Friesian heifer displayed a circular swelling at the distal metacarpal area of the left forelimb with a compact, partially slightly fluctuating consistency. The animal exhibited no weight bearing of the affected limb. Radiological examinations of the fetlock area revealed a physeal osteomyelitis of the metacarpus. Surgical treatment involved a complete resection of the epiphyseal plate using a trephine. After immobilisation using a cast and repeated debridement of the wound cavities, the heifer was discharged with a slight lameness after 10 weeks. Half a year after surgical intervention no lameness was visible.
