M., Internal fixation of distal femur
fracture by pin and wire in a terrier dog, 24(7): 395-400, 2020. A 5-month-old female terrier dog was referred with a history of lameness, inflammation and pain in her left hind leg
after falling from high altitude. Crepitus was present in the region Radiography
indicated a transverse fracture of distal femur and displaced patella. Surgical
incision was made at skin parallel to the patellar ligament and muscle
dissection was done. Two oblique holes were created on the medial and lateral femur
condyles and 2 pins were pushed through the holes into the medulla of the femur
to intersect and stabilized the 2 parts of the bone. For further stabilization,
the fractured parts of the femur were fixed with stainless wire through those external
parts of oblique inserted pins and a transverse hole in the diaphysis of femur.
The post-operation radiographic images showed proper anatomical position of
bone parts. Limited movement of the dog for 8 weeks was strongly recommended.
Case follow-up has indicated effective surgery.
Key words: dog, femur fracture, pin, wire.
