Metacarpal fractures in canine forelimbs generally occur as a consequence of trauma. Conservative or surgical approaches can be used to manage these fractures. Rehabilitation is a tool used in Veterinary Medicine to promote the recovery of the musculoske-letal system, addressing both neurological and orthopaedic lesions. In this case report, we discuss the physiatric approach allowed to regain weight-bearing and mobility of left forelimb in a 3 years old female Spitz dog with a delayed skin and bone union of multiple exposed fractures of metacarpal bones occurred as surgical complication after a road accident.

Abstract

Metacarpal fractures in canine forelimbs generally occur as a consequence of trauma. Conservative or surgical approaches can be used to manage these fractures. Rehabilitation is a tool used in Veterinary Medicine to promote the recovery of the musculoske-letal system, addressing both neurological and orthopaedic lesions. In this case report, we discuss the physiatric approach allowed to regain weight-bearing and mobility of left forelimb in a 3 years old female Spitz dog with a delayed skin and bone union of multiple exposed fractures of metacarpal bones occurred as surgical complication after a road accident.
