Abstract
To report repair of a right proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fracture in a foal with a hybrid external fixator (HEF). Case report. A 5-month-old male foal. After open surgical reduction, an HEF built with wires, 2 half-rings, 3 half-threaded connecting rods, and Schanz pins was used to stabilize the fracture. Immediately after surgery, the foal had relatively good weight bearing. The HEF was removed at 60 days after radiographic confirmation of healing. HEF can be used to stabilize a proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fracture in a 5-month-old foal. HEF should be considered as another option for repair of proximal tibial Salter-Harris type II fractures in foals.
