摘 要：The present study was launched to compare two techniques of internal fixation for the repair of short oblique mid-shaft metacarpal fracture in dogs. The study was carried out on 12 mongrel dogs of either sex divided into three groups, i.e. A, B and C, each group comprising four animals each. In group A, after the induction of a short oblique mid-shaft metacarpal fracture, internal fixation was carried out using a miniature finger plate of size 2.7 mm;in group B, internal fixation was achieved by application of a single bone screw in lag fashion, while group C served as Control, and in these animals, no method of internal fixation was tried. The dogs were kept in kennels for 12 weeks. The results were collected on the basis of clinical examination, radiographic evidence and post-mortem findings. The data was also analyzed statistically. The clinical results clearly indicated that miniature finger plate was the best internal implant for the treatment of short oblique mid-shaft metacarpal fracture, especially in precious breeds of dogs kept for hunting and racing purposes, in terms of ideal immobilization and good callus formation.
