- Abstract
A Merinos breed, 1,5 year-old sheep was presented to clinics with the complaint of disability problem on right hind limb. In the inspection, the sheep was setting her metatarsus down on the ground. Tendogen tension was not felt in the palpation of the achilles tendon. The achilles tendon rupture was confirmed with the help of diagnostic imaging techniques (radiology and ultrasound). The ruptured Achilles tendon was sutured with Bunnell-Mayer technique under general anesthesia, and calcaneo-tibial fixation, positioning the tarsal joint in normal situation, was performed with a compression screw for supporting the healing process temporarily. When the fixation screw was removed in the postoperative 2nd month, it was determined that the sheep was using the extremity normally.
