Case Report

Viktoras Sinkevičius, Matas Klupšas, Dmitrij Kvitka, Martinas Jankauskas.


Abstract
Background:
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is characterized by ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, primarily affecting small breed dogs.

Case Description:
An 11-month-old, female Toy Poodle presented with hindlimb lameness due to LCPD, previously treated unsuccessfully with NSAIDs. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) was administered intra-articularly. Clinical evaluations included lameness scoring, range of motion (ROM), thigh girth measurements, and radiographic assessment.

Conclusion:
PRP administration resulted in significant clinical improvement, reduction in lameness, pain relief, cessation of bone lysis, and increased muscle mass by day 44 post-treatment.

Key words: Canine; Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease; Platelet-rich plasma; PRP; Orthopedic.
