Abstract

In the study 10 dogs were sourced from 2 litters, and were randomly assorted into 3 experimental groups. The intramedullary pinning of the femur of the young dogs were evaluated to know the status of the hip joints. Fractures were created on the femur of the experimental dogs and attempts were made to oppose or align then using the retrograding and normograding techniques. It showed that retrograding techniques with multiple intramedullary pinning provide stability to the corrected fractured limb, and frequent evaluation of the radiographic status of the hip and bones in managing femoral fracture repair by intramedullary pin fixation in young dogs to determine when it is soonest and best to remove the pins.
 Key Words: Intramedullary pins. Femur. Hip joint. dogs. Status.
