Abstract
An infant black howler monkey (Alouatta caraya), aged approximately three months, presented with atransverse fracture of the distal third of the right humeral shaft underwent surgical treatment using aplate-rod construct. A 1.00-mm diameter intramedullary pin was used in a retrograde fashion to reduceboth the fracture and plate stress. The plate-rod construct was a seven-hole 1.5-mm veterinary cuttableplate, which was installed following the principles of biological osteosynthesis. The animal presentedno pain in the postoperative exams and used the limb normally. Bone consolidation was observed foreighth weeks after surgery, showing that the treatment was effective.
