Clinical report of reconstructive surgery of sacroiliac separation and iliac shaft fracture in dog

Sacroiliac luxation results when there is disruption of the articulation between the wing of the sacrum and iliac wing. This problem may be unilateral or bilateral. A two year-old, 9 kg weighting, male Spitz dog was referred to private clinic. Clinical signs were non-weight-bearing on hind-limbs, lameness, and loss of appetite and sever pain on palpation. Sacroiliac separation and fracture of ilium were reconstructed using cortical screw and 2.7 plates respectively. Muscles, subcutaneous tissue, and skin of both sides were sutured routinely. Postoperative care was performed by broad-spectrum antibiotic and aspirin. The patient started weight bearing on day 4 after operation. Clinicians should reconstruct sacroiliac separation immediately because of nerve roots engagement following the sacroiliac separation and pelvic fracture and likely secondaiy nerve root damage or disruption.
