Repair of a Fractured Femur in an Iguana1

On October 12, 2009 in the veterinary clinic of Dr. Swails a common iguana was presented for treatment. It was exhibiting palpable evidence2 of a fractured right femur.

The iguana was pre-anesthetized, and the skin incision was made. It was extending from the greater trochanter to the patella, directly over the fascia lata. The surgeon was carefully dissecting the muscles, and the fracture segments were exposed. The fracture was repaired with the aid of a wire sutured with chromic catgut.

Postoperative radiographs showed good alignment3 of the fracture segments and proper placement of the wire. By the time4 these radiographs were taken, the iguana was moving its legs and exhibiting the corneal reflex.

Four weeks postoperatively the iguana was watched by the doctor. Now it is using the leg, so the bone was healing adequately.

Notes:

1) iguana — (iguana tuberculata) — a large American tropical lizard (ящерица), usually living in trees.

2) evidence — зд. признаки

3) alignment — подгонка, выравнивание по отношению друг к другу
