The Use of a Locking Plate for the Treatment of Femoral Diaphyseal Fracture in Giant Anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)

Abstract: Background: The giant anteater is considered a species vulnerable to trauma due to being slow and, therefore, vulnerable to long bone fractures, such as femoral fracture. Locking plates have the potential to restore and maintain fractured bone stability, as well as reduce damage to the vascular supply. This study aims at reporting cases of two giant anteaters subjected to femoral osteosynthesis using locking plates.
