Abstract
Gal P., O. Teyschl, H. Kecova, P. Fabian, ·. Bibrova: Influence of Transphyseal Pin Placement on Bone Growth: an Experimental Study in Pigs . Acta Vet. Brno 2002, 71: 319-325. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of two Steinmann pin diameters inserted in different numbers and directions into distal radial physis on longitudinal growth of this bone. The influence of transphyseal pin placement on the growth of radius was evaluated in 30 twomonths-old piglets. Animals were divided into groups A (n = 10), B (n = 5), C (n = 5) and D (n = 10) according to four different combinations of pin diameter and number of implants placed through the distal radial physis. In animals of the group A, placement of two crossed Steinmann pins of 1.7 mm diameter through the distal radial physis did not influence the growth of the bone. The growth of radius in animals of groups B (3 pins of 1.7 mm diameter placed), C (2 crossed pins of 2.5 mm diameter inserted)
