“…The tied-in frame was rigid and stable which provided rotational stability (Radke et al 2006) [2] . The tie in configuration for the stabilization of the humerus fracture showed satisfactory clinical union of the fracture fragments (Rao et al, 2017) [6] . The buffalo café showed weight bearing from the 60 th postoperative day after complete removal of the tie in configuration.…”

A 3 days old cross bred Murrah buffalo calf with a history of lateral recumbency following birth after dystocia was presented to the department of veterinary surgery and radiology, VCC, RIVER, Puducherry. On examination of the right fore limb, crepitus was felt at the distal end of humerus. A complete oblique fracture of the distal diaphysis of the humerus was confirmed on radiography. Under sedation surgically by tie-in configuration fracture was treated. Tie-in configuration frame was protected with application of POP cast. Inj. Streptopenicillin @ 10 mg/kg B.W. administered I/M for 5 days. Inj. Meloxicam @ 0.4mg/kg B.W I/M for 3 days were administered postoperatively. On 45 th post-operative day clinical union of fracture was confirmed with callus formation on radiograph. Tie-in configuration was removed and on 60 th day weight bearing was noticed. Animal made an uneventful recovery.

“…Techniques were modified and fixtor's assembly was fabricated into semicircular and hybrid ESFsystems Semicircular ESFs were applied over upper limb bone fractures whereas hybrid fixtors were applied for fixation of both upper and lower limb bone fractures (as done in previous studies viz. Yardimici et al, [27] Rao et al, [18] and Yardimici et al, [31]. Details of various dimensions and design of implants used in this study were mentioned in Table .1.…”

“…Most common indication of ESF is open and severely infected fractures [6] especially in large or giant dog breeds [7] where other surgical technique is difficult to use successfully [8] and Bernarde et al, [9]. Broadly ESF has been classified as linear, circular and hybrid technique [10] Aronsohn, [11] Heras-Jimenez et al, [12] Beveer et al, [13] Majority of ESF-technique [14] are usually applied to manage lower limb bone fractures in dogs [15] and Rao et al, [16] and the main reason behind is ease of application [17] without much hindrance [18]. However linear fixtors can be used in any long bone [19] even with articulation with circular ring [20] and Cheong et al, [21] but in previous literature there are restrictions for use of circular fixtors [22].…”

Present study was conducted on nine-clinical cases of humerus (n=4), femur (n=3) and radius-ulna (n=2) fractures in dogs of either sex, weighing 5.5 to 18 kg. Both closed (n=6) and open (n=3) fractures were treated in this study. The fracture was reduced and stabilized by transfixation using modified ring fixators. Semicircular (n=4) and hybrid fixators (n=5) were used for upper limb and lower limb bones respectively. The main component of fixator i.e. aluminium rings were designed locally at Bikaner using 4-mm aluminium sheets and fabricated accordingly. Full rings were used for distal radial (n=2) and distal femoral (n=1) fractures whereas semicircular rings were made through cutting the full ring during surgery for specific humeral (n=4) and femoral (n=2) fractures. Specialised wire fixation bolt (iron based; weighing 5.5g) was also designed locally at Bikaner for transcortical pin and ring articulation. Humeral and distal femoral fractures are challenging while bone plating of distal radial fracture demands further surgeries therefore external fixators were modified and applied in present study. Operated limbs were evaluated clinically with serial postoperative radiographs at regular intervals. Fixator-assembly evaluation and functional recovery of operated limbs were considered as objectives of this study.

“…Limited plate-to-bone contact minimizes disruption of periosteum and soft tissues, preserves the periosteal and extra osseous blood supply and reduces consequent osteoporosis underneath a plate [8,9]. PRC with LCP for the repair of comminuted diaphyseal femoral fractures in young dogs has been reported [10].…”

Study was conducted on 31 femur fractures repaired with plate rod technique in dogs. Both simple and comminuted diaphyseal fractures of young and adult dogs of age ranging from 5 months to 72 months and weighing between above 10kgs to 35kgs were included in the study. Locking plates with the intramedullary rods (IMR) of 30-40% diameter of medullary cavity were used for platerod construct (PRC). Suitable sizes of the LCPs were selected based on preoperative orthogonal radiographs and body weight of the dogs. Minimum two bicortical screws were applied in each fracture fragment. Most of the animals showed weight bearing on 10-15 days post surgery and visible callus formation was also observed radio-graphically at 4-5th postoperative weeks. Complications like pin migration (4), seroma formation (5), plastic deformation of implant (2) and soft tissue irritation (9) were observed. From results we concluded that plate rod technique yield excellent results for the management of femoral fracture repair in dogs.
