Abstract : The research was carried out on twelve canines that presented with long fractures at Veterinary clinical complex, Nagpur veterinary college, Nagpur. The fracture was identified pre-operatively with orthopaedic and radiographic examinations. Fracture stabilization using the method of open reduction and internal fixation was used in all twelve canines. This procedure included the utilization of 3.5mm locking compression plates. Preoperative planning was carried out using demographic data in conjunction with clinical and radiological examination. Using locking plates in a locking way, a stable fixation was obtained. Consistent scoring and evaluation of stance, gait, discomfort, and lameness revealed progressive improvement. By the 45th day after surgery, all patients were able to fully bear their weight without showing any signs of lameness. In all of instances, primary bone healing began in the 14th day after surgery, and by the 45th day after surgery, full cortical continuity had been seen. When used to lengthy bone fractures in dogs, the locking compression plating technique effectively compressed the spaces between the fracture fragments, leading to radiographic primary union and excellent functional outcomes. Applying the locking compression plating technique to a dog's fracture of the long bone resulted in efficient inter-fragmentary compression, full radiographic primary union, and superb functional results. secure plates in addition to the usual screws for the cortex and the cancellous bone. Good fracture stability was achieved by selecting the right size of plate and screws based on body weight and kind of fracture. We used radiographs and lameness grading to see how well the fracture had healed after stabilization. All of the animals demonstrated weight bearing, functional limb utilization, and excellent joint mobility by the 45th day postoperatively, on average. The functional output was outstanding throughout the study. All patients had an average recovery duration of 45th day postoperatively . After the operation, the radiographs indicated that the fractures had healed beautifully, with no visible fracture lines and a little amount of callus that had healed into a bridge. Findings from this research support the use of locking compression plates to stabilize long bone fractures, allowing for faster limb ambulation and recovery.The research did not include records of frequently seen problems such as osteomyelitis, delayed union, malunion, and nonunion.The application of the LCP plate was determined to be efficacious in the management of long bone fractures in canines by the use of early pain-free ambulation.
