Hi Tom, Would appreciate any guidance on treatment and management of Pisiform damage. No fractures or chips thank goodness. Happened 3 weeks ago, cold water compression until swelling down, then started magnetic field therapy snug box treatment. Looking to use odzon in next few days. Does this sound ok for treatment? many thanks Elaine  |

The only thing to double check is to ensure that there are no other muscle problems in the limb and/or scapula attachments that may have contributed to this damage by allowing some instability in limb movement. Cheers, Tom |

Thanks Tom,
I'm lucky enough to have access to a well respected muscle/bone man so will certainly ensure no other injuries.
Thankyou for your quick response, I spend hours on this site learning.... your response is much appreciated.

Hi again Tom,
Tom, it's been 4 weeks since injury and dog still has a very slight limp now and again. In your experience is this normal after 4 weeks.
thanks
Elaine

Hi Elaine, I must admit that any sort of gait alteration after 4 weeks is of some concern, and a further thorough examination of the injury and stability of the area is certainly indicated. In particularly the ability of the wrist to take firm downward pressure placed on the top of the shoulder with only the affected limb on the ground, and the amount of foreward flexion displayed compared to the other limb when the same pressure is applied to it. As an increased foreward flexion could certainly indicate a weakness in the wrist joint. There is always the chance that the accessory carpal ligaments have sustained more damage than first indicated or could possibly be repaired by magnetic field treatments or Odzon applications, and that the injury may require a more aggressive treatment regime such as blistering or either plasma or sclerosing injections.
