“…In general, fractures of the facial mass can be fixed with this method (6) and even though as with other alternative systems (1,3,5,7,8,9), there are not any absolute indications. Speculatively, they might well be used routinely in some of the following examples.…”

SummaryA maxillary fracture is presented which we classified as Le Fort Type III. Treatment was by the application of two craniomaxillofacial CMS titanium plates placed intrabuccally and paramedially on both sides of the palatal suture.This technique was used as an alternative to the classical treatment using interdental wires or intermaxillary fixation.A clinical case was diagnosed with a craniofacial fracture caused from being bitten by another dog. This was successfully treated using CMS titanium plates. Many methods exist for maxillofacial fixation, from the cyanocrylates to interdental wires, etc. The indications for these plates are similar to other methods of fixation. Due to their small mass they are ideal for use in fragile bones with little soft tissue covering.

Os cuidados e dificuldades em reparação de fraturas de rádio-ulna de cães de porte pequeno são conhecidos, com a ocorrência freqüente de não-união óssea, principalmente no que tange as fraturas distais, relacionadas a características anatômicas inerentes, como pouco recobrimento de tecido muscular, canal medular de diâmetro reduzido, e pouca vascularização. Tendo em vista esta realidade, descreve-se a comparação entre o tratamento com placa e parafuso e placa e parafuso com adição de proteína morfogenética óssea em fratura completa transversa de terço distal bilateral de rádio-ulna, de semelhante apresentação em cão da raça Pinscher, atendido no Serviço de Cirurgia de Pequenos Animais do HOVET/USP. Avaliou-se, comparativamente, o tempo de formação de calo ósseo, por exames radiográficos, aos 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias de pós-operatório, onde foi encontrado tempo de cicatrização de 90 dias no membro controle enquanto que, no membro tratado com a proteína morfogenética óssea, o tempo de cicatrização foi de 30 dias, demonstrando a possibilidade de incremento que o uso de fatores de crescimento podem trazer ao tratamento de fraturas em cães de pequeno porte.

“…Fractures of the radius and ulna represent 8.5% to 18% of all fractures in dogs and cats (9)(10)(11)13,15). Fractures of the distal aspect of these bones are the third most common fracture of the dog (14). The incidence of complications in these fractures is relatively high.…”

SummaryMedial placement of a 2.7 mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) has been proposed as an alternative to cranial placement of a 3.5 DCP for the treatment of mid-diaphyseal to metaphyseal radial fractures in dogs (13, 17). The purpose of this study was to compare the extraction strength of 2.7 mm screws placed in a medio-lateral (ML) plane with both 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm screws placed in a cranio-caudal (CC) plane in canine cadaver radii.Comparisons between these three screw orientations were evaluated by placing six screws (in vitro) in each of 16 paired radii and then conducting a standard extraction test (also known as a pull-out test). One radius of each pair received 2.7 mm ML screws (n = 48), the opposite radius received either 2.7mm CC or 3.5 mm CC screws (n = 24 each). Extraction strength was compared by screw position within a bone and between planes of placement within matched pairs.Screw position within a bone did not have a significant effect on strength comparisons. The number six (most distal) screw was consistently and significantly weaker than the other screws without regard to plane of placement. Medio-lateral screws were significantly stronger than both 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm screws placed in a cranio-caudal plane. Medial placement of a 2.7 mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) is a viable alternative to cranial placement of a 3.5 DCP for treatment of mid-diaphyseal to distal radial fractures in dogs, with regard to screw purchase and holding strength.A comparison of extraction strength of 2.7 mm screws placed in a medio-lateral (ML) plane was made with both mm and 3.5 mm screws placed in a cranio-caudal (CC) plane in canine cadaver radii. Medio-lateral screws were significantly stronger than both mm and 3.5 mm screws placed in a cranio-caudal plane. With regard to screw purchase and holding strength, medial placement of a 2.7 mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) is a viable alternative to cranial placement of a 3.5 DCP for treatment of mid-diaphyseal to distal radial fractures in dogs.
