Construction of a weight-bearing surface on a dog's distal pelvic limb

DM Bradley, MS Scardino, and SF Swaim

A one-year-old, neutered female boxer presented with a self-inflicted pandigital amputation following complications of a left hind footpad laceration repair. A meshed skin graft was placed distally over the exposed granulation tissue of the affected limb. In two surgical procedures, a total of five 6 by 8-mm and three 8 by 10-mm digital pad grafts were transplanted into recessed sites in the granulation tissue over the distal aspect of the metatarsal bones. A newly designed pressure relief bandage/ splint was used to assist maturation of the grafts. The result was a weight-bearing surface over an area of maximum tissue stress.
