“…There are reports of proximal tibial valgus deformity and limb overgrowth associated with proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures in children (Skak 1982, Jordan et al 1987, Ogden et al 1995, Tuten et al 1999, Müller et al 2002. Treatment for these fractures in children commonly consists of a long leg cast for 4 weeks, or in the case of displaced fractures, closed reduction and splinting or open reduction and internal stabilisation under general anaesthetic (Müller et al 2002, Mubarak et al 2009, Yoo et al 2019. Two studies have reported two proximal metaphyseal curvilinear tibial fractures in immature dogs stabilised with crossed pins (Mehmet & Ümit 2004) and external fixation (Cheong et al 2014).…”

Materials and MethOds: A multi-centre retrospective review was conducted, searching for skeletally immature dogs presenting with proximal metaphyseal curvilinear tibial fractures between January 2009 and September 2020. Signalment, fracture description and case management data were retrieved.Outcome was assessed by retrospectively evaluating follow-up radiographs, hospital records and an owner questionnaire.results: Twenty-five dogs met the inclusion criteria. All but one fracture was a result of minimal trauma. Twenty fractures were managed with internal fixation, two with external fixation and three conservatively. All 25 fractures healed. Eight major complications occurred in seven of 25 (28%) dogs.Twelve minor complications occurred in 10 of 25 (40%) dogs. Owner questionnaire data were available for 12 of 25 dogs; 11 of 12 were reported as having full function and one of 12 as having acceptable function at the time of questioning (median 34.5 months following presentation). At final follow-up, either by clinical examination or owner questionnaire, full function was achieved in 22 of 25 patients and acceptable function in three of 25.clinical significance: This study reported a series of proximal metaphyseal tibial fractures in skeletally immature dogs. The most common fixation method was internal fixation, which frequently resulted in full limb function at final follow-up. Owners reported outcome as fully functional in all dogs that underwent surgery at first presentation and had owner follow-up available, though positive outcomes may have been affected by participation bias.
