Abstract :
The research was carried out on six dogs that
were admitted to with fractures of long bones. The
fracture was diagnosed pre-operatively through
radiographic and orthopaedic examination. In order to
stabilize the fractures of all six canines, open reduction
and internal fixation with 3.5mm string of pearl plates
and cortical screws were utilized. As a consequence, the
fracture was effectively immobilized and fixed.
Radiographic analysis identified the development of
periosteal and endosteal calluses beginning in the second
week following the operation. In the sixth week following
the operation, obliteration of the fracture line and
radiographic union of fracture fragments were observed.
Stable fixation resulted in the observation of complete
radiographic union of fractured bone and minimal callus
formation by the eighth postoperative week in every
case. Fractures of long bones in canines were effectively
treated with SOP plates, allowing for early, pain-free
ambulation.
