Modified Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis in a Yearling Filly with an Osseous Cyst-Like Lesion in the Proximal Phalanx

After the medial femoral condyle (MFC), the phalanges are the second most common site for osseous cyst-like lesions (OCLLs). Conservative treatment of phalangeal cysts on the convex surface of proximal phalanx presents a technical problem with access to the stoma of the cyst. Surgical therapy option...

description After the medial femoral condyle (MFC), the phalanges are the second most common site for osseous cyst-like lesions (OCLLs). Conservative treatment of phalangeal cysts on the convex surface of proximal phalanx presents a technical problem with access to the stoma of the cyst. Surgical therapy options usually aim to avoid cyst enlargement through drilling or screw placement or to encourage lesion filling with osteoconductive material. This paper describes a case of treatment of the OCLL in a yearling Czech warmblood filly with surgical arthrodesis, together with the packing of the OCLL with calcium phosphate biocement (CPB). The filly showed a chronic, moderate to severe, intermittent left hindlimb lameness. Dynamic examination combined with regional anesthesia and radiography confirmed a clinically significant large OCLL on the distal joint surface of the first phalanx. Treatment of the OCLL was performed by surgical arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal joint, using two paraxial and one axial crossed lag screw, after curetting of the cyst and filling with CPB.
