dc.description.abstract | A 1 year old German shepherd bitch was presented to the University of Nairobi, Small Animal Clinic following a limb injury which occurred during training. The left hind limb was swollen at the hock joint and palpation of the joint elicited pain. Lateral and anterior posterior radiographic views of the left hind limb were taken. The lateral view showed a distal tibial physis fracture.
The patient was admitted for surgical fracture fixation using intramedullary pins.
An intra medullary pin was advanced directly from the medial side of the tibia to engage the distal physis of the tibia. Follow up radiographs showed the pin to engage
the distal physis of the tibia. | en |
