    EVALUATION OF POLYAXIAL LOCKING PLATE SYSTEM AND LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE FOR TIBIAL FRACTURE REPAIR IN GOATS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR-585 226, 2023) CHIMKODE SHASHIKANT; D. DILIPKUMAR
    The research was conducted in 12 clinical cases of goats affected with tibial fractures. The goats were randomly divided into two groups with six goats in each group. The feasibility of two different techniques of ORIF using 3.5mm locking plates applied as aninternal fixatorwere evaluated using clinical, radiological and biochemical changes on pre-operative day, post-operative day 0, 15, 30, and 60. In group I, PAX, in group II LCP, were applied. All the animals showed slight to moderate weight bearing from 7th to 15th post-operative day and moderate to good weight bearing by 30th post-operative day. Good to excellent weight bearing was achieved by 60th post-operative day.Functional weight bearing was observed in all the groups by day 60. Group II (LCP) showed slightly better weight bearing throughout the period of study compared to group I. Radiological evaluation revealed, that fracture healing in all the groups was through secondary callus formation. Initiation of periosteal callus was noticed on day 15 in all the groups. Apparent bridging of the fracture site was noticed in all the groups on day 30. Cortico-medullary union was established on day 60. The complete union and initiation of remodelling of fracture was observed to be earlier in group II, compared to group I. There was no significant difference between both the groups at all the intervals of study in serum alkaline phosphatase level. There was so significant difference in serum calcium level at any intervals of study. Which was same with the levels of serum inorganic phosphorous. However, all the parameters showed rise in levels upto day 30 and returned to normal physiological range by 60th day.
