The functional state of canine pelvic limb muscles in the experimental model of ischial bone fracture

EMG-studies of 35 dogs while modeling ischial bone body and ramus have revealed decrease of the activation ability of pelvic limb muscles of experimental animals, which was restored more rapidly and more completely under transosseous osteosynthesis, than in control under conservative treatment. Both the denervation-and-reinnervation process and the protective interoreceptive reflex are mechanisms of change in muscle functional state in case of pelvis injury.
