![]() However, other factors such as configuration of the fracture, soft tissue involvement, patient´s character and client´s situation would also need to be taken into account in the decision of stabilization technique. ConclusionĪccording to the results, better healing, fracture alignment and a lower complication rate are found when fractures are stabilised with an open technique. Fracture malalignment was significantly more prevalent in patients undergoing closed stabilization (11/32 vs 2/31). However, a higher number of major complications was reported in the open group (7/31 vs 2/32) although this was not statistically significant. A significantly higher proportion of minor complications were reported in the closed group (27/32 vs 12/31). Regarding postoperative complications, a significantly higher number of animals in the open group did not develop any complications (12/31 vs 3/32). Regarding fracture healing a significantly higher proportion of delayed healing/non-union was found in the closed group (12/32 vs 2/31). Thirty-one were treated with an open approach and 32 by a closed stabilization. Sixty-three patients (35 dogs and 28 cats) were included. Fracture healing was classified as good, delayed and non-union, and it was statistically compared. Minor and major complications were recorded and compared. Patients were allocated in two groups: open or closed stabilization. Medical records of dogs and cats with metacarpal/metatarsal fractures with complete follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is any significant difference in healing and complication rates, between open and closed treatment.

The function of the muscle is to move the fourth toe medially and move the toes together. The third Plantar interosseus muscle originates from the medial side of the base and shaft of the fifth metatarsal. The function of the muscle is to spread the toes. The fourth dorsal interosseus muscle originates from the medial side of shaft. The plantar surface of the base is grooved for the tendon of the abductor digiti quinti, and gives origin to the flexor digiti minimi brevis. The tendon of the fibularis tertius inserts on the medial part of the dorsal surface and the fibularis brevis on the dorsal surface of the tuberosity. The head articulates with the fifth proximal phalanx, the first bone in the fifth toe.Ī strong band of the plantar aponeurosis connects the projecting part of the tuberosity with the lateral process of the tuberosity of the calcaneus. The plantar surface of the base is grooved for the tendon of the abductor digiti quinti. The fifth metatarsal has a rough eminence on the lateral side of its base, known as the tuberosity or the styloid process. The base articulates behind, by a triangular surface cut obliquely in a transverse direction, with the cuboid and medially, with the fourth metatarsal. The bone is curved longitudinally, so as to be concave below, slightly convex above. These surfaces are rough for the attachment of ligaments. The bone is somewhat flat giving it two surfaces the plantar (towards the sole of the foot) and the dorsal side (the area facing upwards while standing). The narrowed part in the middle is referred to as the body (or shaft) of the bone. The base is the part closest to the ankle and the head is closest to the toes. Īs with the four other metatarsal bones it can be divided into three parts a base, body and head. The fifth metatarsal is analogous to the fifth metacarpal bone in the hand. It is the second smallest of the five metatarsal bones. The fifth metatarsal bone is a long bone in the foot, and is palpable along the distal outer edges of the feet.
