I-Labrador Retriever ebizwa ngokuthi u-Ava yahlinzwa okwesibili esikhundleni senyonga ngosizo lodokotela bezilwane base-Texas A&M University, ukuhlela okuqondiswa yi-computed tomography (CT) kanye nobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D.Bese ubuyela ekugijimeni nasekudlaleni nomndeni wakho.
Lapho amajoyinti amabili e-hip u-Ava ewathola njengoba esegugile ngo-2020, odokotela bezilwane base-Texas A&M basusa amalunga amadala bawafaka amasha, besebenzisa ukuhlelwa okuqondiswa yi-CT, amamodeli amathambo aphrintiwe e-3D nokuhlinzwa okuphinde kwahlinzwa ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ukuhlinzwa kuhamba kahle futhi ngaphandle kobuhlungu. .izophumelela.
Azikho izinja eziningi ezenza ukuhlinzwa okune okuphelele kwe-hip replacement (THR) empilweni yazo, kodwa i-Ava ibilokhu ikhethekile.
"U-Ava weza kithi lapho eneminyaka engaba ngu-6 ubudala futhi singabazali bezinja ezihlala e-Illinois," kusho umnikazi we-Ava, uJanet Dieter.“Ngemva kokunakekela izinja ezingaphezu kuka-40, waba ‘isihluku’ sokuqala esagcina simthatha.Siphinde saba nomunye uLabrador omnyama ogama lakhe linguRoscoe ngaleso sikhathi, owayethanda ukuhosha imidlwane, kodwa wathandana no-Ava ngokushesha futhi sasazi ukuthi kuzofanele ahlale. "
UJanet nomyeni wakhe uKen bahlala behamba nezinja zabo esikoleni sokulalela, futhi u-Ava unjalo.Nokho, yilapho umbhangqwana waqala ukuqaphela okuthile okuhlukile ngaye.
"Isihloko savela mayelana nokuthi ungayivimba kanjani inja yakho ukuthi ingagxumeli kuwe, futhi sabona ukuthi u-Ava akasoze agxumela kithi," kusho uJanet.“Samyisa kudokotela wezilwane wasendaweni bamthwebula i-x ray ekhombisa ukuthi inqulu ka-Ava yayiguqukile.”
Abakwa-Dieters badluliselwe kudokotela ohlinzayo oshintshwa yi-hip onolwazi ngokuphelele owashintsha inqulu ye-Ava ngo-2013 nango-2014.
“Ukuqina kwakhe kuyamangalisa,” kusho uJanet."Uphume esibhedlela sengathi akwenzekanga lutho."
Kusukela lapho, u-Ava uye wasiza imidlwane ekhulisa umbhangqwana ethola abantu abangadlala nabo.Lapho umndeni kaDieter usuka e-Illinois uya eTexas eminyakeni embalwa edlule, waluthatha kancane lolu shintsho.
“Eminyakeni edlule, amabhola okwenziwa aye aguga umugqa wepulasitiki ovikela izindonga zensimbi zamalunga okwenziwa,” kusho uDkt. Brian Sanders, uprofesa wezifo zamathambo ezilwane ezincane kanye nomqondisi wezinkonzo zamathambo ezilwane ezincane eSibhedlela Sokufundisa Sezilwane."Ibhola lokwenziwa libe seliguga isisekelo sensimbi, okudale ukugudluka ngokuphelele."
Nakuba ukuguga okuphelele nokuklebhuka kwe-hip joint kuyivelakancane ezinjeni, kungenzeka uma kushintshwa ilunga eliye lasetshenziswa iminyaka eminingi.
"Ngesikhathi u-Ava efakwa inqulu yakhe yasekuqaleni, i-padding endaweni ehlanganisiwe ayizange ithuthukiswe njengoba kwenzeka manje," kusho uSanders.“Ubuchwepheshe sebuthuthuke kakhulu kangangokuthi mancane amathuba okuthi le nkinga ibe khona.Izinkinga ezifana nezika-Ava azivamile, kodwa uma zenzeka, kudingeka ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe ukuze kube nomphumela ophumelelayo.”
Ngaphezu kokugudluka, ukuguguleka kwezindonga zensimbi zenqulu ye-Ava kubangele izinhlayiya zensimbi ezincane ukuba zinqwabelene eduze kwelunga nangaphakathi komsele we-pelvic, kwakheka ama-granulomas.
"I-granuloma empeleni iyisikhwama sezicubu ezithambile ezizama ukubamba izingcezu zensimbi," kusho uSanders.“U-Ava wayene-metallic granuloma enkulu eyayivimbela ukungena kwenyonga yakhe futhi ithinte izitho zakhe zangaphakathi.Lokhu kungase futhi kubangele umzimba wakhe ukuba wenqabe noma yiziphi izifakelo zokufakelwa ze-THR.
“I-Metal deposition—inqubo egugulekayo eyenza izingcezu zensimbi zinqwabelane kuma-granulomas—kungabangela izinguquko zamangqamuzana ezibangela ukuba ithambo elizungeze inqulu entsha ligcwale noma lincibilike.Kufana nokufaka umzimba esimweni sokuzivikela ukuze uzivikele ezintweni ezingaphandle,” kusho yena.
Ngenxa yobunkimbinkimbi bokuhlinzwa okudingekayo ukuze kukhishwe i-granuloma nokulungisa inqulu ka-Ava, udokotela wezilwane wasendaweni ka-Diters wancoma ukuthi babone uchwepheshe wamathambo e-Texas A&M University.
Ukuqinisekisa impumelelo yomsebenzi oyinkimbinkimbi, uSanders wasebenzisa ukuhlela okuthuthukisiwe okuqondiswa yi-CT kanye nobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D.
“Sisebenzisa imodeli yekhompyutha ye-3D ukuze sinqume usayizi nokubekwa kwezifakelo zokufakelwa,” kusho uSaunders.“Siphrinte okufana ncamashi nenqulu ka-Ava egudlukile futhi sahlela kahle ukuthi kwenziwa kanjani ukuhlinzwa kabusha kusetshenziswa imodeli ye-3D yethambo.Eqinisweni, savala amamodeli epulasitiki futhi sawasebenzisa egunjini lokuhlinza ukuze sisize ngokuhlinzwa kokwakhiwa kabusha.”
“Uma ungenalo olwakho uhlelo lokuphrinta lwe-3D, kuzodingeka usebenzise inqubo yokukhokhela isevisi ukuze uthumele ama-CT scan enkampanini yangaphandle.Kungaba nzima ngokwesikhathi sokushintsha, futhi uvame ukulahlekelwa amandla okubamba iqhaza ezinhlelweni zokuhlela,” kusho uSanders.
Ukuba nesifaniso sika-Ava's butt kwaba usizo ikakhulukazi uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi i-granuloma ka-Ava yayenza izinto zibe nzima nakakhulu.
“Ukuze sigweme ukwenqatshwa kwe-THR, sisebenzisa i-CT scan futhi sisebenzisane nethimba lodokotela abahlinza izicubu ezithambile ukuze sisuse ingxenye enkulu ye-granuloma yensimbi emseleni wezitho zangasese bese sibuyela ukuze sibuyekezwe i-THR.Bese kuthi uma senza ukubuyekezwa, siqedele ukuhlinzwa kolunye uhlangothi ngokukhipha i-granuloma esele ngakolunye uhlangothi, ”kusho uSanders."Ukusebenzisa amamodeli e-3D ukuhlela nokusebenza neqembu lezicubu ezithambile kube yizici ezimbili ezibalulekile empumelelweni yethu."
Nakuba ukuhlinzwa kokuqala kuka-Ava kokuvuselela inqulu kuhamba kahle, usizi lwakhe alukapheli.Emasontweni ambalwa ngemva kokuhlinzwa kokuqala, enye i-THR pad ye-Ava nayo yaguga futhi yahlakazeka.Kwadingeka abuyele ku-VMTH ukuze ayobuyekezwa i-hip yesibili.
"Ngenhlanhla, i-hip yesibili ayizange ilimale kakhulu njengeyokuqala, futhi sesivele sinemodeli ye-3D ye-skeleton yakhe kusukela ekuhlinzeni kwakhe kwakamuva, ngakho ukuhlinzwa kwesibili kokubuyekezwa kwe-hip kwaba lula nakakhulu," kusho uSaunders.
"Usagijima ngemuva kwegceke kanye nenkundla yethu yokudlala," kusho uJanet.“Waze weqa kusofa.”
“Ngesikhathi eqala ukukhombisa izimpawu zokuguga ezinqulwini, sacabanga ukuthi kungase kube ukuphela futhi sashaqeka,” kusho uKen."Kodwa odokotela bezilwane eTexas A&M bamnike impilo entsha."
Ochwepheshe bezilwane e-Texas A&M University bathi ukunikeza “indawo ephephile” yamakati kuyisihluthulelo sezethulo eziyimpumelelo.
Ochwepheshe bezilwane bavame ukutubeka futhi basengozini yokufa ngokuphindwe kahlanu ngokuzibulala kunomphakathi jikelele.
