Resumo
The arthrogryposis is a congenital disease characterized by ankylosis of articulation, flexion of the thoracic and
pelvic limbs, that mainly bovines and equines. It was evaluated the surgical treatment associated to articular external fixation
with vinile polichlorate (PVC) or Thomas splint modified, in calves owners of congenital carpic arthrogryposis. The study was
developed in 18 farms and it was used 21 calves owners of this infirmity, distributed in three groups (GI, GII and GIII) of seven
animas. The GI was constituted by animals with a soft score of the infirmity and the GII and GIII, by bovines hardly affected.
On all the animals, it was done the tenotomy of the superficial and deep digital flexor tendon on the metacarpian region and
on the bovines from GII and GIII, it was undone the articular anchilosis. On the calves from GI and GII, it was done the external
fixation of the carpic articulation using the Thomas splint modified and on the ones from GIII, an equipment made of PVC
tubes. The treatments preconized did not result on the complete cure of all bovines, although it was sufficient to allow the
animals to step the distal extremity of the limb on the floor and to walk, even claudicating. As the Thomas splint modified as
the PVC tube were helpful on the reestablishment of the movements of the carpic articulation.
