Abstract
|
|
|
|
A Korean water deer was rescued with non-weight-bearing lameness of the right hind limb. Clinical andradiographic examination revealed a craniodorsal coxofemoral luxation. The cause of the right coxofemoral luxation(CL) was unknown. We performed minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted reduction with toggle pin fixation (miniTightRope®). Craniodorsal CL in the water deer was reduced and stabilized successfully. At 60 days after admission,the water deer was successfully released back into the wild. This minimally invasive surgical technique can be usedto correct coxofemoral luxation in wild animals.
