Abstract
Tibio-fibular fractures are very common in dog and cat. Such fractures are usually corrected by either internal or external fixation method. Internal fixation like dynamic compression plating with a minimum of total six to ten cortical screws is usually used for the management tibial fracture in dog. The objective of the present case study is to evaluate the efficacy of dynamic compression plating with a minimum of two cortical screws in each proximal and distal fracture fragments. The clinical case was performed in a five month old indigenous intact female dog weighing 12 kg which was suffering from mid-shaft left comminuted tibia and fibular fracture. Lameness grade, functional limb outcome and fracture healing were observed for the final outcome of dog. At 30th post-operative day, lameness grade was improved, functional limb outcome was excellent and progressive secondary bone healing was noticed without any complications.
