Handmade Double-Sided Toggle Pin Technique for Repairing Coxofemoral Luxation in a Dysplastic Golden Retriever | Chapter 7 | Medical Science: Trends and Innovations Vol. 11

A two-year Male, 27.5 kg Golden Retriever was presented to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology at Veterinary College Hassan after being caught in a neck chain, resulting in limping in the left hindlimb. On physical examination, shortening of the left hindlimb along with swelling and pain on palpation of the left hip joint, was observed. Orthopaedic and radiographic exams confirmed cranio-dorsal coxofemoral luxation in the left hindlimb, accompanied by bilateral hip dysplasia. Under general anaesthesia, the coxofemoral luxation was corrected via a cranio-dorsal approach using handmade toggle pins (1.5 mm K-wire) and nylon thread (1 mm diameter). Post-operative radiographs confirmed proper alignment and anatomical configuration of the coxofemoral joint with toggle pins securely in position. Post-operatively, a pelvic bandage and Robert Jones bandage were applied to the operated left hindlimb. The dog was treated with Cefpodoxime proxetil (10 mg/kg), Tramadol (2 mg/kg) and Deep TBR tablets for five days, along with FlexiRun tablets and restricted activity with short leash walks. The dog began using the affected limb on the second post-operative day, showing slight lameness initially, but was walking without lameness by the 45th post-operative day. The animal recovered uneventfully with good weight-bearing capability. In conclusion, the double-sided modified toggle pin technique using handmade toggle pins proved to be an economical and practical method for repairing coxofemoral luxation, offering good clinical outcomes with rapid recovery.

A Case Report on Third Head of Biceps Femoris Muscle | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 Variants of the biceps femoris, such as an auxiliary head of the biceps femoris, can be encountered on occasion. During regular cadaveric dissection at the department of anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, we discovered a case with an accessory head of biceps femoris in both lower limbs.

The biceps femoris' long head fibres form the muscle belly, which runs down medially to the medial superior portion of the tibia's medial condyle. On the right side, the insertion point resembles a sheath and integrates halfway with the thigh's medial intermuscular septum. On the left side, the insertion seems to be a thin sheath at first, then a thin muscle belly. The muscle belly is slender in compared to the long and short heads of the basic muscle bellies. The left side has a thickness of roughly 3.7mm on the higher end and thinner on the lower end, whereas the right side has a thickness of around 3.75mm. The right side of the muscle belly is around 5cm long, whereas the left side is about 5.5cm long. After then, the muscular belly creates a sheath with a length of approximately.5mm before returning to its original length of around 3.5cm. A short head appears high above on the left side, whereas the right side is normal.
