Abstract:
The clinical study on eight dogs under 18 months age with long bone fractures were stabilized with 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm String of Pearls Locking Plates (SOP). Five were male and three were female. Follow-up radio graphs on 15th, 30th, 60th and 90th post-operative days revealed secondary bone healing with periosteal callus formation. In one dog, plate breakage on 15th post-operative day and plate bending was on 30th post-operative day in another dog. Grade V lameness improved to grade I lameness and two dogs progressed to grade II lameness by the end of 45th post- operative day.
