A one year old male Whippet dog was presented with a history of accident and non-weight bearing lameness of the right forelimb. The radiological examination confirmed a complete oblique distal diaphyseal fracture of right radius and ulna. T-plate with screw was opted to manage the fracture with standard anaesthetic protocol. The patient was successfully treated and recovered completely after 2 months. Thus, the present report describes a successful management of oblique distal diaphyseal fracture of right radius and ulna with T-plate in a dog.

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare benign condition, characterized by massive deposition of calcium salts into peri-articular soft tissues. Majority are secondary to underlying chronic disorders like chronic renal failure. Primary Normo-phosphatemicTumoral Calcinosis is a rare entity. I hereby, report a case of primary normo-phosphatemictumoral calcinosis in a 11 years old female patient, managed by complete surgical excision.

BACKGROUNDTibia is a large bone of the body and one of the principal load bearing bones in lower extremity. Non-operative treatment of tibial fractures is associated with a high prevalence of malunion, stiffness of the joint & poor functional outcome. Intramedullary interlocking nailing is a technique which allows stable reduction and early mobilisation. The assessment of autonomic functions is an important part of the evaluation of peripheral and central nervous system.The Aim of the study was to assess the end results and autonomic functional status in tibial fracture treated by early interlocking intramedullary nailing in young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS56 patients in the age group of 18-40 years who presented with diaphyseal fractures of tibia were studied from November 2013 to October 2015 (2 years). Average followup was 7 months. Immediate heart rate response to standing (30:15 R-R ratio) was done to assess the parasympathetic function. Cold Pressor Response (CPR) was done to assess the sympathetic function. RESULTSThe average duration of partial weightbearing was 3 weeks. The average duration of full weightbearing was 14 weeks. The average time of healing was 17 weeks. All patients except 2 showed normal parasympathetic function (30:15 R-R ratio). All patients except 2 showed normal sympathetic function (Cold Pressor Test). CONCLUSIONDue to lack of information about autonomic functions of the patients before fracture and small sample size, further studies are needed to assess changes in autonomic functions of the patient following this procedure. Because of the high union rate and low infection rate, we consider closed interlocking nailing as the best mode of treatment for diaphyseal tibial fractures.
