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.
Furthermore, the use of applied appropriate plate size
and cortical screws size is seen. As a consequence, the
outcome yielded effective fracture repair and
immobilization. Radiographic analysis disclosed the
presence of periosteal and the production of endosteal
callus begins during the second week after the surgical
procedure. The complete elimination of the fracture line
and the achievement of radiographic union in the
fracture site. Fragments were observed during the sixth
week after the surgical procedure seen indicating
successful healing of the broken bone with little
production of callus. The presence of stable fixation was
noted in all instances by the eighth postoperative week.
Recorede lameness at different interval post operstively.
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.
