Surgical management of oblique diphyseal tibial fracture in canine

Abstract

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.
