This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Digit Amputation COMPLETED, Claw Removal/ Amputation Indications for use.... Used to treat: *Pedal osteitis, *Luxation or the fracture of the distal phalanx, * Deep sepsis of the digit, * Septic arthritis of DIP and PIP., Method 1: Gigli Wire Method includes Pre-operative, Method 2: Disarticulation (between P1 and P2) involves Pre- operative Care and Considerations, Intra- operative Procedure 1. Elevate the limb to be operated on and aseptically prepare the area(s) to be worked on., Pre-op considerations comprises Anaesthetic considerations, Fractures based on Methods of closed fixation, Methods of closed fixation such as Robert-Jones bandage with splint, Let the client know the pros and cons, and cost attached to each therapeutic option prior to starting. Client may decide to cull animal instead. Cons * Amputation results in early culling, * Many contraindications, *Persistently poor gait may be seen in cases post op, * Shorter productive life and poor cosmectis results; heavy individuals do poorly; much more difficult for animals to walk on hilly, rocky or slatted floors with amptuated digit. * Better for animals with a short production life or it is coming to an end. (eg. Beef cattle), ADMINISTRATION OF REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA. where IV regional; Place tourniquet proximal to fetlock just before injection when veins are maximally distended. With a 20- gauge needle, 1 1/2 inch needle or a 21- G butterfly catheter, inject 10- 20ml of anaesthetic as close as possible to the surgical site. Tourniquet can be left on for 1 hr., Remove deep flexor tendon of surgical side proximally, especially if pustular discharge is seen at disarticulation site. Deep Digital Flexor Tenotomy 2. Locate deep flexor tendon by cutting through tendon sheath. Pull the correct tendon out and transect the tendon at the incision site., Hoof Trimming Before Distance Examination, ADMINISTRATION OF REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA. using 2% Lidocaine WITHOUT Epinephrine, Post- Operative Care and Considerations For The Animal, Remove deep flexor tendon of surgical side proximally, especially if pustular discharge is seen at disarticulation site. Deep Digital Flexor Tenotomy 3. Place drainage tube: Use Brunner needle to pass the tube through the passge of the deep flexor tendon. Once through tie in a knot and suture the incision site using the simple coninuous pattern., Hoof Trimming possible Complications, IV regional; Place tourniquet proximal to fetlock just before injection when veins are maximally distended. With a 20- gauge needle, 1 1/2 inch needle or a 21- G butterfly catheter, inject 10- 20ml of anaesthetic as close as possible to the surgical site. Tourniquet can be left on for 1 hr. in Hindlimb, Principles of Rx such as ID forces causing it, Dutch 5 Step Method steps 2. Make the outer(lateral) claw equally long and the bearing surface equally high as the inner (medial) claw, Restraint via Chemical Restraint, Intra- operative Procedure 6. Remove deep flexor tendon of surgical side proximally, especially if pustular discharge is seen at disarticulation site.
