Successful surgical management of femur fracture in dog using external skeletal fixator

Author(s): Puli Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, Pushkin Raj, Shiju Simon, Sindhu R, Saran S and Thavasi R
Abstract: The ten-month-old, 28 kg female Great Dane dog was brought to the Orthopaedic Unit at Madras Veterinary College with a history of non-weight-bearing lameness in the right hind limb following an automobile trauma. Radiography confirmed a comminuted femur fracture, which was then stabilized using Type 1 external skeletal fixator (ESF) with tie-in configuration. The animal exhibited an uneventful recovery thereafter.
