El mejoramiento de la salud y la calidad de vida de las mascotas, se debe al gran
avance en medicina veterinaria, ayudado por la utilización de mejores técnicas radiológicas,
quirúrgicas y otros métodos diagnósticos.
La presente pasantía fue realizada en el Hospital Veterinario Ciudad Mascota (HVCM),

año 2009.
El objetivo fue estudiar el diagnóstico, tratamiento y recuperación de los pacientes con
afecciones del sistema músculo esquelético.
Para lograr el objetivo general se dio gran énfasis al estudio anatómico de los
miembros torácicos y pélvicos, exámen físico con base al motivo de consulta, el estudio,
comprensión y toma de decisiones de los diferentes de tratamientos a emplear para la
resolución de la afección del paciente y seguimiento del post-operatorio.
Durante la pasantía se atendieron un total de 119 pacientes internados en el HVCM, de
los cuales un total de 25 (21,01%) de los casos presentaron afecciones del sistema músculo
esquelético, 64 (53,78%) casos fueron de resolución quirúrgica y 30 (25,21%) de estos de
medicina interna.
La mayoría de los casos de ortopedia tuvieron como factor causal traumatismo. De
estos 25 casos un total de 20 (86%) se resolvieron quirúrgicamente, los restantes 5 (14%) se

radiografías a los 30 días de la cirugía, de ser necesario, otra radiografía de control 15 días
después.
