Abstract :
The research was carried out on twelve
canines that presented with long fractures at Veterinary
clinical complex, Nagpur veterinary college, Nagpur. The
fracture was identified pre-operatively with orthopaedic
and radiographic examinations. Fracture stabilization
using the method of open reduction and internal fixation
was used in all twelve canines. This procedure included
the utilization of 3.5mm locking compression plates.
Preoperative planning was carried out using
demographic data in conjunction with clinical and
radiological examination. Using locking plates in a
locking way, a stable fixation was obtained. Consistent
scoring and evaluation of stance, gait, discomfort, and
lameness revealed progressive improvement. By the 45th
day after surgery, all patients were able to fully bear
their weight without showing any signs of lameness. In
all of instances, primary bone healing began in the 14th
day after surgery, and by the 45th day after surgery, full
cortical continuity had been seen. When used to lengthy
bone fractures in dogs, the locking compression plating
technique effectively compressed the spaces between the
fracture fragments, leading to radiographic primary
union and excellent functional outcomes. Applying the
locking compression plating technique to a dog's fracture
of the long bone resulted in efficient inter-fragmentary
compression, full radiographic primary union, and
superb functional results. secure plates in addition to the
usual screws for the cortex and the cancellous bone.
Good fracture stability was achieved by selecting the
right size of plate and screws based on body weight and
kind of fracture. We used radiographs and lameness
grading to see how well the fracture had healed after
stabilization. All of the animals demonstrated weight
bearing, functional limb utilization, and excellent joint
mobility by the 45th day postoperatively, on average. The
functional output was outstanding throughout the study.
All patients had an average recovery duration of 45th day
postoperatively . After the operation, the radiographs
indicated that the fractures had healed beautifully, with
no visible fracture lines and a little amount of callus that
had healed into a bridge. Findings from this research
support the use of locking compression plates to stabilize
long bone fractures, allowing for faster limb ambulation
and recovery.The research did not include records of
frequently seen problems such as osteomyelitis, delayed
union, malunion, and nonunion.The application of the
LCP plate was determined to be efficacious in the
management of long bone fractures in canines by the use
of early pain-free ambulation.
