“…Radius bone carries the heavier weight of the fore limb compared with the ulna in dogs therefore is more susceptible for fractures than ulna (2). The traumatic injuries which result from traffic accidents, fighting, fall, gunshot and explosive projectiles are the main causes of distal radial fractures (3). Reduce blood supply of distal radius region with little of soft tissues enveloping the fractured site, considered as the most important factors contributes for delayed or incomplete healing of distal radial fracture (2).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of platelets rich fibrin and bone marrow on distal radial fracture healing in local breed dogs. Twenty four adult animals (males and females), mean aged 2.6 ±0.15 years, and the mean body weight 24.58 ±1.07 kg were used. The experimental animals were randomly divided into three equal groups. First group (Control group), transverse fracture was induced in the distal portion of radial bone and immobilized by Plaster of Paris, the fracture line didn't treated with any material. Second group (platelets rich fibrin group), the fracture line was surrounded by the platelets rich fibrin. Third group (bone marrow group), the fracture line was surrounded by autologous bone marrow. The radiographic results confirmed that the fracture healing was faster and superior in third group compared with first and second groups. The hematological results showed an increasing in concentration rates of alkaline phosphatase enzyme and calcium at the weeks that follows surgical operation. Depending on the serial rates of alkaline phosphatase, the third group and the second group are the better fractured bone healing than the first group. In conclusion, the results revealed that, the using of bone marrow and platelets rich fibrin improved and enhanced the healing of distal radial fracture.

“…This finding is in agreement with Simon et al (2010) who found that femoral fractures were more common due to the fact that the distal half of the femur is away from the long axis of the pelvic limb making it more susceptible to bending forces leading to fractures. Libardoni et al (2016), in a larger sample size retrospectively studied, over a 10-year period reported that tibia and fibula fractures were next in incidence to femoral fractures. In our 10-month study, we observed a similar pattern of higher incidence of femoral fractures but next in incidence were radio-ulnar fractures.…”

“…Retrospective and prospective studies are essential to determine prevalence of diseases in a particular geographic location (Chaves et al, 2014). It also helps clinicians to improve the diagnosis and treatment of common ailments in any Veterinary Teaching Hospital (an example of a tertiary veterinary institution) (Libardoni et al, 2016). Ideally, a tertiary Veterinary establishment should be equipped with facilities that will make it function effectively in the diagnosis, treatment and care of animal diseases.…”

Radiography is an important clinical diagnostic tool in any Veterinary establishment and especially for a tertiary institution. It is however limited by lack of functional equipment and staff. This study attempts to assess the challenges faced by the Radiology Unit of the Surgery Clinic and enumerate the distribution of cases at a tertiary veterinary centre between August 2016 and June 2017. All the referred cases to the unit within the study period were accessed (n=52). 26 were selected based on the inclusion criteria which were a radiography request from a clinician and an actual return to clinic of a clear radiograph. Age, sex, lesions and clinical history were recorded from case files and radiographs. The age of animals presented ranged from one month to 13 years. Eleven (11) representing 42.3% of the dogs were female while 14(53.8%) were male, and one animal's sex was omitted. Eighteen (18) were single lesions while four presented with multiple lesions, and four had no observable lesions. Fourteen 14 (53.8%) were fracture cases of long bones either for diagnosis or postreduction evaluation. Three (11.5%) were to check for suspected thoracic metastasis in cases where lumps were found in other parts of the body. Four (15.3%) were of the pelvis to diagnose hip dysplasia. Seven (26.9%) were to aid diagnosis in cases in which swellings were palpated within the abdomen and one (3.8%) was of the cervical spine while another was of a foot (3.8%). The implication of lack of radiographic equipment and staff problems in a tertiary veterinary centre were elucidated and ideal conditions suggested.

“…Traumatic events are the main cause of orthopedic disorders in dogs and cats (STREETER et al, 2009;ELZOMOR et al, 2014), and fractures result mainly from car accidents (VIDANE, 2014), ballistic projectiles, fights, and falls (KUMAR, 2007). High incidence of car accidents was due to the high number of both animals with access to public roads, and owners who suppress the containment and protection measures in their homes and during outings (LIBARDONI et al, 2016).…”

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the frequency of femur fractures in dogs and cats in the routine of a school hospital, determining their classification, fixation methods, complications, and outcomes. A total of 61 animals, 50 (82.0%) dogs and 11 (18.0%) cats, had femoral fractures that were submitted to osteosynthesis. Sixty-two femoral fractures were evaluated. Single fractures in the distal epiphysis (n=25) were the most frequent (P=0.0001). Intramedullary pins were used in association with cerclage and tension band for osteosynthesis in proximal fractures. In diaphyseal fractures, bone plates and screws, two intramedullary pins (insulated or with cerclage) and Tie-In configuration were used. In distal fractures, modified Rush intramedullary pins, cross pins and Tie-In configuration were used. Comparing complication frequencies at fracture sites that required reintervention after osteosynthesis, a significant difference was observed (P=0.0253) between the diaphyseal (31.25%) and distal (7.14%) fractures independent of the technique used. We concluded that distal epiphyseal fractures were the most frequent in the routine of a school hospital. Distal epiphyseal fractures presented a lower frequency of complications for consolidation when treated with modified Rush intramedullary pins or crossed pins.
