Surgical Repair of Rostral Hemimandibular Fractures with Canine Tooth Luxation in a Dog

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A sexually intact female Alaskan Malamute, 5-year-old weighing 25.2 kg presented to the Hangang Animal
Hospital, following hit-by-car. On initial presentation, the dog had severe salivation and the right canine tooth luxation.
Radiographs revealed fractures of the right rostral hemimandible with the right canine tooth luxation and symphyseal
separation. Surgical repair of fractures was performed by use of an interdental wiring technique and external fixation
technique that included pins, an acrylic connecting bar, and polymethyl methacrylate bone cement. Post-operative
radiographs revealed that bridging callus was well formed over cortices of the fracture area. Pins and an acrylic
connecting bar were removed 7 weeks post-operatively. The dog exhibited evidence of normal mastication.
