over the years 2014 -2018. From a total of 734 clinical cases, 181 were diagnosed as fractures. From cases, dogs represented 49.72% (90/181), whereas cats represent 18.23% (33/181) and birds represented 22.09% (40/ 181). The etiology of the fractures multifactorial, but car accidents represented the main cause of fractures particularly in dogs. Femoral fractures were reported as the most prevalent types of fractures that represented 26.51% (48/181), followed by fractures in radius-ulna 19.33% (35/181), tibia-fibula 13.81% (25/181) and the pelvis 9.94% (18/181). All the cases were diagnosed on the bases of case history, clinical signs, physical examination and finally confirmed by using digital X-ray which offered an excellent scope and contrast than the traditional method. From a total of 181 cases, 6 cases were found hopeless, 45 cases underwent surgical internal fixation and the remaining 130 cases were fixed by external coaptation. Internal fixations were found to be very convenient and without any difficulties, on the contrary to the cases with external cooptation were not. We recorded postoperative inflammation in 4 cases, as well as mal-union was recorded in 5 cases and incomplete alignment in 2 cases was found. We concluded that fractures in pet animals are common in Sulaimani province, which must be considered, and the best-employed methods of fracture repair were the internal fixation techniques, particularly intramedullary pinning.

A 10-month-old mixed-breed male dog was presented with an oblique tibial fracture. The dog was treated with a Robert Jones-like bandage as a conservative approach, and was subjected to X-ray, B-mode, Color Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examinations during the fracture healing, in order to assess bone hemodynamic changes. B-mode, Power Doppler and CEUS examinations of the fracture gap were performed at 7, 20, 35, and 50 days post-trauma. Quantitative analysis of CEUS and perfusion parameters were obtained. On CEUS, a steep incline in signal numbers was visible in fracture gap at 7 days with peaks at 35 days, after which the vascularization decreases gradually over the next days. In this study, CEUS provided important information on the early stages of the callus formation and on the healing of neighboring tissues, allowing recognition of a correct bone healing. Moreover, the number of vascular signals on CEUS was greater than that on Doppler images on the same day. This report showed the application of CEUS in controlling the fracture healing process. CEUS could be a method of monitoring the remedial processes, assessing the tibial fracture perfusion characterized by low-velocity, small-volume blood flows.
