“…In the RTP fixator group, consolidation of fractures was faster, as demonstrated by radiographical, histological, and immunohistochemical investigations and in part by blood serum markers for bone formation. Similar results with the application of the RTP fixator have earlier been described in experiments with rabbits (Andrianov et al., ) and in clinical cases with dogs (Andrianov et al., ); hence, the RTP fixator with its simple construction and application can be recommended for treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long bones in small animals.…”

The study compares the efficiency of a new bone fixator combining periostal and intramedullary osteosynthesis to bone plating in treatment of tibial fractures in sheep. Experimental osteotomies were performed in the middle third of the left tibia. Animals were divided into two groups: in one group (four animals) combined osteosynthesis (rod-through-plate fixator, RTP fixator) was applied, and in the other group (three animals) bone plating was used. The experiments lasted for 10 weeks during which fracture union was followed by radiography, and the healing process was studied by blood serum markers reflecting bone turnover and by histological and immunohistochemical investigations. In the RTP fixator group, animals started to load body weight on the operated limbs the next day after the surgery, while in the bone plating group, this happened only on the seventh day. In the RTP fixator group, consolidation of fractures was also faster, as demonstrated by radiographical, histological, and immunohistochemical investigations and in part by blood serum markers for bone formation. It can be concluded that application of RTP fixation is more efficient than plate fixation in the treatment of experimental osteotomies of long bones in sheep.

“…Open reduction and proper stabilization of fractured bones with using intramedullary fixation pin is easy in application, inexpensive and the basic principles of repair are followed. However, post-operative complications could be an expected outcome of fracture repair, although, surgeons can reduce the incidence of these post-operative complications by selecting an appropriate surgical method (34)(35)(36). The important factors in repairing of fracture include using appropriate surgical method, selection of the suitable diameter/size pins or bone plate and screw, preservation of soft tissues form injury and an adequate post-operative care (35).…”

over the years 2014 -2018. From a total of 734 clinical cases, 181 were diagnosed as fractures. From cases, dogs represented 49.72% (90/181), whereas cats represent 18.23% (33/181) and birds represented 22.09% (40/ 181). The etiology of the fractures multifactorial, but car accidents represented the main cause of fractures particularly in dogs. Femoral fractures were reported as the most prevalent types of fractures that represented 26.51% (48/181), followed by fractures in radius-ulna 19.33% (35/181), tibia-fibula 13.81% (25/181) and the pelvis 9.94% (18/181). All the cases were diagnosed on the bases of case history, clinical signs, physical examination and finally confirmed by using digital X-ray which offered an excellent scope and contrast than the traditional method. From a total of 181 cases, 6 cases were found hopeless, 45 cases underwent surgical internal fixation and the remaining 130 cases were fixed by external coaptation. Internal fixations were found to be very convenient and without any difficulties, on the contrary to the cases with external cooptation were not. We recorded postoperative inflammation in 4 cases, as well as mal-union was recorded in 5 cases and incomplete alignment in 2 cases was found. We concluded that fractures in pet animals are common in Sulaimani province, which must be considered, and the best-employed methods of fracture repair were the internal fixation techniques, particularly intramedullary pinning.

“…Methods and instrumentation for diaphyseal fracture repair in dogs are diverse, and as long as the chosen method aims to satisfy the principles of fracture repair (1,2), surgeon preference can be accommodated using pins, external skeletal fixation, interlocking nails and plates (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). More recent developments of fixation devices have expanded the options available and include such implants as the locking compression plate (10), clamp rod internal fixator (11), Pengo system plate (12) and rod-through-plate (13). Mennen (14) reported the use of a clamp-on plate in 282 forearm fractures in man, and later for metacarpal fractures (15).…”
