Abstract: The study on comparative evaluation of locking compression plates and cuttable plates for long bone fracture repair in dogs was conducted on 12 clinical cases with diaphyseal fracture of long bones during the period December 2018 to July 2019 at TVCC of Nagpur veterinary college. The cases were divided into two equal groups of 6 dogs each with fracture stabilization by locking compression plates one group and cuttable plates in second by ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation). The cuttable plates were beneficial for fracture immobilization since they could be cut to desirable length, as against locking compression plate in small breeds and dogs below and up to 15 kg of weight.
