Thermographic Assessment of Extremity Temperature Alterations of Cases with Bucked Shin Complex, Splints, Carpal Osteoarthritis and Sesamoiditis in Sport Horses

Öz:

This study was aimed to describe the extremity temperature alterations of horses with bucked shin complex,splints, carpal osteoarthritis and sesamoiditis. In this study, 27 race horses with different breed (24 Arabian, threeThoroughbred), sex (23 males, four mares) and age (avg. 3.5-year-old) were used. After thermographic and clinicalexaminations, cases with existence of inflammation were subjected to radiographic examination. Clinical, radiographicand thermographic findings revealed that five horses had carpal osteoarthritis, two horses had bucked shin complex,13 horses had splints, and seven cases had sesamoiditis. Medial aspects of carpus were 3-4˚C heater in carpal osteoarthritiscases compared to those of healthy carpus of same horses. The thermographic examination of bucked shincomplex revealed that in Grade 1 (n=1), there was a hot spot in dorsal aspect of metacarpus and these spots had 4˚Chigher temperature than that of normal control limb. The medial aspects of metacarpus was 1-2˚C warmer in splintcases compared to limb without lesions. The medial aspect of sesamoid bone was 6-7˚C warmer in medial sesamoiditiscases compared to normal limbs. In conclusion, the temperature of extremity tends to increase on the affected regionwhere the orthopaedic problem exists. Because thermography shows the localization of inflammation, it could beused as a supportive diagnostic method in orthopaedic problems of race horses which come out with inflammation.

Spor Atlarında Sesamoiditis, Karpal Osteoartritis, Süro ve Sorşin Olgularında Ekstremite Sıcaklık Değişimlerinin Termografik Değerlendirilmesi

Öz:

Bu çalışma sesamoiditis, karpal osteoartritis, süro ve sorşinli atların ekstremitelerindeki sıcaklık değişimlerini tanımlamayı amaçladı. Bu çalışmada, farklı ırk (24 Arap, üç İngiliz), cinsiyet (23 erkek, dört dişi) ve yaşta (ortalama üç buçuk yaş) 27 yarış atı kullanıldı. Termografik ve klinik muayene sonrasında, yangının mevcut olduğu olgularda radyografik muayene gerçekleştirildi. Klinik, radyografik ve termografik muayeneler sonucunda yedi olguya sesamoiditis, 13 olguya süro, iki olguya sorşin ve beş olguya karpal osteoartritis tanısı konuldu. Karpal osteoartritis olgularında aynı atın normal karpus’u ile karşılaştırıldığında, karpus’un medial yüzünde 3-4˚C’lik sıcaklık artışı belirlendi. Birinci derece Sorşin tanısı konulan olguda metacarpus’un dorsal yüzünde sıcak bir nokta vardı ve bu noktalar normal bacakla kıyaslandığında 4˚C daha sıcaktı. Süro tanısı konulan olgularda normal bacakla karşılaştırıldığında metacarpus’un medial yüzünde 1-2˚C’lik sıcaklık artışı görüldü. Medial sesamoiditis olgularında sesamoid kemiğin medial yüzünden alınan sıcaklık normal bacaktan 6-7˚C daha yüksekti. Sonuç olarak, ekstremite bölge sıcaklıları ortopedik problemin lokalize olduğu etkilenen bölge üzerinde artış gösterir. Termografi yangının lokalizasyonunu gösterdiğinden, yarış atlarının yangıyla ilişkili ortopedik problemlerinde yardımcı bir tanı yöntemi olarak kullanılabilir.
