Rupture of tendons

* Large animals occur more frequently, while small animals occur less frequently.

(I) Cause

* Clinically, traumatic tendon rupture is the most common, often open tendon rupture, mostly due to sharp cutting. Such as jumping, slipping and falling, soft limb injury caused by collision between the flexion of limbs and sharp objects, and tendon rupture at the same time.

(Two) symptoms

*: The flexor tendon refers to the superficial flexor tendon of the finger (toe) and the deep flexor tendon of the finger (toe). It has the effect of limiting excessive dorsiflexion of the finger (toe) joint. When the incomplete rupture or total rupture occurs, the joint exhibits different degrees of dorsiflexion and the ball joint sinks. Show support when walking.

* Achilles tendon rupture: The Achilles tendon consists of the superficial toe flexor tendon and the gastrocnemius tendon, which has the effect of stretching and fixing the sacroiliac joint. After the Achilles tendon rupture, the sacroiliac joint is significantly lowered and the affected limb is extended. When walking, the performance is mainly mixed.

(Three) treatment

* Under sterile conditions, double cross-stitch suture is used to connect the two ends of the tendon with nodular suture, and then the device is used to fix the bandage and retain it for more than 1 month.

Ensuring that the bandage of the affected limb is well fixed after the operation is the key to successful operation.
