5555555,芦小笛下周要做手术了
自从一月底我们去滑雪回来开始,芦小笛走路就一瘸一拐的。本来以为过一段时间会好,结果一晃都快三个月了还是不能剧烈运动。 周一年检时兽医正式宣布右膝盖十字韧带基本完全撕裂,需要手术。我就一通打听学习,今天又去看了另一位兽医,决定给芦小笛做手术。 先说说这个伤势:前十字韧带撕裂。英文叫anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture。是一个非常常见的受伤。据说每年美国有60万只狗做修复ACL的手术。十字韧带就是在膝盖骨下面连接大小腿骨有两条韧带,呈十字交叉。前面一条,后面一条,受伤的就是前面一条。如图所示 今天的医生还认为芦小笛右腿半月板也受伤了。半月板是两块半月形纤维软组织,起减震和稳定的作用。十字韧带撕裂后大腿骨在运动中会向下滑动,直接摩擦半月板。这个问题比较严重,会造成关节炎,严重的会瘫痪。 综合芦小笛的年龄,品种,活动喜好等因素,我们决定给他做手术。手术是个比较新的技术,叫Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)。其原理是改变受力方向:把受力方向从向斜下方改为直接传到小腿骨,使得小腿骨在运动中不会移动。如图所示 Biomechanics of the TTA Now this will seem complicated when you look at the forces that are applied to the knee, but let me try to explain. There are opposing forces that affect the stability of the knee. The forces that come from the patellar ligament (from the pull of the quadriceps muscles), Fq, oppose the other forces applied (Fn and Ft). Because the patellar ligament is angled greater than 90 degrees to the top of the tibial slope (dashed line), there is a resultant shear force that causes the tibia bone to slide forward with weight-bearing; this force is normally neutralized by the cranial cruciate ligament. However, when the cruciate ligament is torn, this force causes the knee "give out" with every weight-bearing stride. After the TTA procedure has been completed, the angle of the patellar ligament approaches 90 degrees to the tibial slope and the opposing forces become cancelled, thus the tibia bone remains in place when weight is placed on the limb. 手术费用大概2500,不包括税,也不包括手术后两次复查。所以一套下来大概3000。这个手术恢复时间也比较长,大概需要8周。完全恢复需要大概16周。但是好处是大多数狗狗在手术后都能恢复到受伤前的状态,也就是能跑能跳。而且有研究表明,TTA可以减缓关节炎的发生。 手术定在下星期2,一大早就要送过去,还要住一天院。可怜的芦小笛,要受苦了。 |

昨天还有个老外也跟我说:you know in the old days, you take the dog out and shoot him in the head。 我说呵呵那可不行,he's family。 可见这跟中国外国没太大关系。 |

不做手术一是会很疼,而且慢慢地会损坏半月板,那肯定就要得关节炎了。严重的还可能瘫痪。那芦小笛的生活质量可就要差多了。 这也是为什么选择TTA手术的原因,虽然比较贵,但是可以减缓关节炎,而且手术后恢复好了芦小笛还能跑能跳。 有,我们没买。当时比较了一下,如果coverage不错的一个月至少50,30的都挺差。这一年一年下来也不少钱。我们就给芦小笛单存了一笔钱,就当给他买保险了。 谢谢卡卡姨。我们也没料到这次会这样严重,不然早带他做手术了。总以为养养就能好呢,他以前玩疯了也瘸过,一般过些日子自己就好了。 |

昨晚忙活了一晚上。芦小笛可可怜了,绷带打不上,总是掉,医生就给套了个特大号的eCollar。腿肿得很厉害,伤口还流血。 昨晚热敷了好几次。新买的垫子人家不喜欢,只好现弄了条厚毯子又加了条大浴巾当床垫。以前用的crate进出不方便,干脆就在客厅一角围了块地当小笛病房了。 我给撕了一大盆骨头肉,拌上狗粮还有几大勺骨头汤,美美吃了一顿。 比较麻烦的是每次吃喝都要把eCollar摘掉,眼睛不眨地盯着他,还要托住他的屁股才能吃得到。 睡觉前又热敷了一回,把止疼药塞进一根香蕉里给喂下去,这才比较舒服地躺下休息了。 今天腿还是比较肿,还要继续热敷。 |
