Repair of Unilateral Femur and Tibia Fracture in a Dog Using Locking SOP Plate

Abstract

A 2 year old non-descript male dog presented with unilateral short oblique diaphyseal right femur and tibial fracture was stabilised with 3.5mm SOP plate. The plate acted as butrress system and minimal callus was noticed. The radiographic union was achieved by post-operative day 60 and complete remodelling was observed by the end of one year. Weight bearing was noticed by post-operative day 15. Implant related complications were not observed.
