RESUMO
Background: The common calcaneus tendon is formed by the common tendon of the femoral biceps muscle, tendon of the superficial digital flexor muscle and gastrocnemius muscle tendon, and its rupture is related to acute traumas in small animals. Among some applications described, surgical repair can be adopted in the correction of tendon ruptures and the use of grafts may be indicated in some severe lesions, where it is not possible to perform tenorrhaphy. This study aims to report the case of a feline with rupture of the common calcaneus tendon in which the tenorrafia associated with the autogenous fascia lata graft was performed as adjuvant to the cicatrization of the same.Case: A 24-month-old, undefined male feline with approximately 3 kg was treated at the FCAV Veterinary Hospital, UNESP Jaboticabal, State of São Paulo, Brazil, with a history of falling, for approximately two weeks, and has since plantigrade posture. Upon physical examination, it was possible to identify a discontinuity of the common calcaneus tendon. The radiographs were performed, which did not show any bone changes. A hemogram and biochemical profile were performed, which were within normal limits. The patient underwent surgery, and a complete lesion of the common calcaneus tendon was identified, with a chronic aspect. Approximation of the stumps was impossible, so a flap of fascia lata, about two centimeters long and one centimeter wide, was removed, which was used as a bed and tendon support for tendon growth. After removal all of the present fibrosis, the tendon stumps were approximated by means of modified Kessler suture with mononylon thread, and fascia lata flap of the ipsilateral limb was sutured with separate single points in both tendon ends and in their lateral and medial portion. In the tibiotarsic joint, the external skeletal fixator type II was used for immobilization, during a period of 30 days.[...](AU)

A unidade do tendão calcâneo comum (TCC) é composta de tendões que surgem dos músculos gastrocnêmio,flexor digital superficial e de um tendão comum, originário dos músculos semitendinoso, grácil e bíceps femoral.Rupturas musculares ocorrem por contração poderosa durante uma hiperextensão forçada da unidademusculotendinosa, com maior predisposição em raças esportivas de cães e atletas como Greyhounds de corrida.A lesão mais comum é a ruptura parcial ou total do TCC. Essa lesão pode ser causada por trauma agudo,como quedas ou ferimentos penetrantes ou estiramento progressivo crônico, como uso excessivo e deterioraçãodo tendão, podendo ser bilateral. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar um caso de complicação pós-operatória,relacionada ao método de imobilização temporária da articulação tarsocrural em um cão após tenorrafia.
The unit of the calcaneal tendon common (CTC) is composed of tendons that arise from the gastrocnemius,superficial digital flexor and a common tendon, origin of semitendinosus, gracilis, and bicepsfemoris. Ruptures occur muscle contraction during a powerful forced hyperextension of the musculotendinousunit, with a greater predisposition in dogs and sporting breeds like greyhounds racing athletes.The most common injury is the partial or total disruption of the CTC. This injury can be caused by acutetrauma, such as fall, penetrating injuries or chronic progressive stretch as over use and deterioration ofthe tendon and may be bilateral. The aim of this study is to report a case of post-operative complicationsrelated to the methods of temporary immobilization of the tarsal joint in dog after tenorrhapy.
