ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe the surgical technique for ischiectomy in the dog and to report the procedure in a case. STUDYDESIGN:
Case report. ANIMAL An 11-year-old spayed female mixed breed dog with chondrosarcoma of the ischium.METHODS:
The dog presented for hindlimb lameness and evaluation after a radiographic finding of a lytic lesion confined to the left ischium. Following staging and confirmation of stage 1 disease, an ischiectomy with preservation of the hindlimb was performed.RESULTS:
The dog recovered from surgery and was initially moderately lame on the hindlimb. Over time, the dog regained satisfactory hindlimb use and was alive >500 days postoperative with no evidence of local recurrence or metastatic disease.CONCLUSIONS:
Ischiectomy with hindlimb preservation is a technically straight-forward procedure and in this case, resulted in good hindlimb function postoperatively. The procedure should be considered for the treatment of dogs with bone tumors confined to the ischium.
