I-TPLO Yabona: Ithuluzi Lenguquko Lokwelapha Ukulimala Kwe-Canine ACL
Uma ungumnikazi wezinja, uyazi ukuthi abangani bethu abanoboya basho kangakanani kithi. Akuzona nje izilwane ezifuywayo; bangamalungu omndeni. Yingakho kubuhlungu uma belimala. Esinye sezingozi ezivame kakhulu ezinjeni yi-ACL edabukile (i-anterior cruciate ligament) - ukulimala okuthena amandla okungabangela ubuhlungu, ukungazinzi, kanye nesifo samathambo ehlangene elithintekile. Kuze kube muva nje, izinketho zokwelapha zokuhlinzwa zezinyembezi ze-ACL bezilinganiselwe. Kodwa-ke, ngokuthuthukiswa kwe-TPLO saw, ithuluzi lokuguqula ukwelapha ukulimala kwe-canine ACL, izinja manje zinethuba elingcono kakhulu lokubuyela empilweni yazo evamile, esebenzayo.
Iyini i-TPLO saw, futhi isebenza kanjani?
I-TPLO saw iyithuluzi lokuhlinza elikhethekile elisetshenziselwa ukwenza inqubo ye-TPLO (i-tibial plateau leveling osteotomy). Phakathi nenqubo ye-TPLO, udokotela ohlinzayo wenza ukusika ku-tibia yenja (ithambo elingaphansi kwamadolo ahlangene) futhi ajikeleze ithambo ukuze indawo ehlangene ibe yizinga. Isaha ye-TPLO isetshenziselwa ukwenza ukusikeka okunembile okudingekayo ukwenza inqubo. Umklamo oyingqayizivele wesaha uvumela ukusikeka okunembayo, okulawulwayo okunciphisa ukuhlukumezeka kwethambo nezicubu ezizungezile.
Kungani i-TPLO ibone inketho engcono yokwelapha ukulimala kwe-ACL kunezindlela zokuhlinza zendabuko?
Izindlela zokuhlinza zendabuko zokwelapha ukulimala kwe-ACL zazihilela ukuhlanganisa umsipha odabukile noma ukuwushintsha ngokuxhunyelelwa. Nokho, lezi zindlela ngokuvamile zaziholela emiphumeleni engafanele. I-TPLO saw inketho engcono ngezizathu ezimbalwa:
1. Inikeza ukuzinza okungcono.
Ngokulinganisa i-tibial plateau, inqubo ye-TPLO inciphisa umthambeka we-tibial, osiza ukuzinzisa ukuhlanganiswa kwamadolo. Lokhu kunciphisa ingozi yokulimala kabusha kanye nesifo samathambo.
2. Ivumela ukululama ngokushesha.
Ngenxa yokuthi inqubo ye-TPLO inikeza ukuzinza okungcono, izinja zivame ukuqala ukusebenzisa isitho esithintekile ngokushesha kunokuba bezingenza ngemva kwezindlela zokuhlinza zendabuko.
3. Yehlisa ubungozi bezinkinga.
Ukusikeka okunembile kwe-TPLO kunciphisa ukuhlukumezeka kwethambo nezicubu ezizungezile, okunciphisa ingozi yezinkinga ezifana nokutheleleka, ukulibaziseka ukuphulukiswa, nokwehluleka kokufakelwa.
Ingabe inqubo ye-TPLO ilungile kuyo yonke inja enokulimala kwe-ACL?
Cha. Inqubo ye-TPLO ifaneleka kakhulu ezinjeni ezinezinhlobo zemizimba emikhulu, njengama-Labradors, i-Golden Retrievers, nama-Rottweilers, kanye nezinja ezinemithambeka ye-tibial ephakeme kakhulu. Udokotela wakho wezilwane uzokwazi ukunquma ukuthi inja yakho iyikhandidethi elihle yini lenqubo ye-TPLO ngokusekelwe ezicini ezifana neminyaka, isisindo, kanye nempilo iyonke.
Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi inja ilulame enqubweni ye-TPLO?
Izikhathi zokululama ziyahlukahluka kuye ngeminyaka yenja, isisindo, impilo iyonke, kanye nobukhulu bokulimala. Nokho, izinja eziningi ziqala ukusebenzisa isitho esithintekile emasontweni amabili noma amathathu ngemva kokuhlinzwa futhi zingabuyela emisebenzini yazo evamile phakathi nezinyanga ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha.
Ingabe bukhona ubungozi obuhlobene nenqubo ye-TPLO?
Njenganoma iyiphi inqubo yokuhlinzwa, kunezingozi ezihlobene nenqubo ye-TPLO, okuhlanganisa ukopha, ukutheleleka, ukwehluleka kokufakelwa, kanye nokuphulukiswa kokulibaziseka. Nokho, lezi zingozi ziphansi uma kuqhathaniswa, futhi izinja eziningi ziyalulama ngaphandle kwezinkinga.
Isiphetho
Isaha ye-TPLO iyithuluzi loguquko lokwelapha ukulimala kwe-ACL ezinjeni. Idizayini yayo ehlukile ivumela ukusikeka okunembile, okulawulwayo okunikeza ukuzinza okungcono, izikhathi zokululama ngokushesha, kanye nezingozi eziphansi zezinkinga kunezindlela zokuhlinza ezivamile. Uma inja yakho ilimele i-ACL, khuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nokuthi inqubo ye-TPLO ingaba inketho enhle kubo.
