Se comenta el caso de un perro de 14 meses, mestizo, de 8 kg, que a consecuencia de un atropello automovilístico se le produjo la rotura de los ligamentos colaterales mediales del tarso izquierdo. Estos ligamentos rotos fueron sustituidos por un polipropileno monofilamento*, dándole una forma de ocho y fijándolo mediante dos tornillos de cortical de 2,7 mm sobre el maléolo tibial y astrágalo respectivamente. Con este tratamiento se consiguió estabilizar correctamente dicha articulación. * This is a case report of a 8 kg mixed breed dog, 14 month old, that was hit by a car, which presented with rupture of the medial collateral ligaments of the tarsus. The torn ligaments were replaced by monofilament polypropilene* in a figure of eight pattern and fixed to the medial tibial malleolus and talus by two 2,7 cortical screws. This treatment produced adequate joint stabilization.
