A clinical case of the use of the developed biocomposite in veterinary traumatology

The authors proposed an original osteoplastic biocomposition material to accelerate the consolidation of fractures in animals. This biocomposite contains hydroxyapatite – 1.0 g, methyluracil – 1.0 g, amoxicillin – 0.05 g, sodium alginate – 0.75 g and solvent – water up to 50.0 ml as active substances. The object of the study was Tikhon the cat, who was admitted to the DoctorVet veterinary clinic 105 days after receiving the injury. The diagnosis is posttraumatic pseudoarthrosis of the middle third of the tibia on the left. X-rays of this patient were examined after rheosteosynthesis using an external fixation device and 1.5% biocomposition material, and the period of fusion of the bone structure was determined. On the third day after surgery, the animal recovered the motor function of the left pelvic limb, while the postoperative period passed without complications. The total consolidation period took eight weeks. A good anatomical and functional effect of treatment has been achieved, without the appearance of lameness. The described clinical case showed that even in the case of an aggravating anamnesis, but with the use of osteoplastic biocomposite, bone fusion occurred in 57 days, which accelerated the consolidation process by four weeks (33.2%).
