“…The initial results of this small case study provide support that the MCOP can be used with an intramedullary pin successfully as an alternative to the standard plate rod fixation. These findings are in agreement with the findings in a previous report on canine fracture repair using a different type of clamp-on plate (25).…”

“…Difficulty with application of the plate, the exposure required, healing complications and implant failure were problems that were encountered with the MCOP (22,23). A different type of clamp-on plate has been successfully used by Coetzee to repair canine tibial osteotomies (24), and diaphyseal fractures of the humerus, tibia, and femur in 21 dogs (25). However that plate had a different shape and prong configuration; the MCOP has prongs along its whole length while the plate used by Coetzee did not have any prongs in the middle of the plate, directly near the fracture zone.…”

“…The treatment of comminuted fractures in long bones continues to pose a problem for veterinary orthopaedists (1). The aims of fracture treatment are: early healing of the bone, rapid return to full function of the in-jured leg, and prevention of damage to the soft tissues and bone (2)(3)(4). Provided pin application principles are strictly adhered to, intramedullary pinning is a method that can easily be applied (4,5).…”

Intramedullary fully-threaded pins were manufactured from an alloy of titanium, aluminium and vanadium in a fully-threaded style. Pins were produced in various diameters, ranging from 4 mm to 11 mm. Pin lengths varied from 5 cm to 22 cm. The proximal end of the pins was designed to fit into a hexagonal screwdriver, while the distal end was slightly tapered to allow for ease of entry into cancellous bone. Treatment using the fully-threaded intra- medullary pin was carried out in a total of 175 fractures of the humerus, femur, and tibia in 95 cats (bilateral femur in 1 case) and 77 dogs (bilateral femur in 2 cases). Radiographic follow-up for the cases was performed at monthly intervals. Non-union developed in one dog with a femoral fracture in which cerclage wire had also been used. Delayed healing and lameness were observed in two other dogs. Healing with excessive callus formation was observed in 16 dogs. However, there were not any problems noted in these dogs in regards to limb usage. Clinical and radiological results obtained for the remaining cases were found to be very good. Normal, complete fracture healing occurred between four to 14 weeks in dogs, and between four to 12 weeks in cats. Pins were removed upon observation of satisfactory functional and radiographic recovery. Pins could not be removed from 26 cats and 21 dogs as the owners had declined pin removal, or because the owners were lost to follow-up.

Femoral fractures in cats are treated using pin and wires, lag screws, Rush pins, intramedullary threaded pins, interlocking pins, clamp rod internal fixators, and plates or plate-rods. In this study, 14 cats brought to the surgery clinic between the years 2010 and 2015 for fracture, due to either a road traffic accident or falling from a height, were evaluated. Following clinical and radiological examination of the cases, the type and location of the fracture, details of the applied fixation method, and postoperative clinical and radiological results were assessed. Localization of the fractures was as follows: 4 comminuted diaphyseal (1 segmental), 6 comminuted distal, and 4 uncomplicated distal transversal fractures. All fractures were closed. Following intramedullary positioning of the pins, rigid stabilization was observed in the fracture line. In the case of the segmental fracture, better stabilization was achieved when the medullary canal was completely filled. The patients were able to use their extremities 3-5 days after surgery and started walking normally from postoperative day 10. Functional healing was seen to improve gradually. Radiographic examination revealed sufficient calli to have formed between days 32 and 44. Complete healing and return to function with no complications was recorded in all the cases.
