Description |
A three year old Chippiparai male dog was subjected to physical examination of humerus revealed pain, swelling and crepitus. Confirmative diagnosis of an unstable humeral diaphyseal fracture was made by radiographic evaluation. It was treated by open reduction and internal fixation accomplished using a 3.5mm dynamic compression plate applied over the tension surface of the bone and additional stability was provided by insertion of 3mm of intramedullary steinmann pin. Normal weight bearing was noticed on immediate post operative day and the animal recovered uneventfully gaining normal mobility.
