Abstract
Diaphyseal fractures of tibia were treated with minimally
invasive plate osteosynthesis technique using Locking
Compression Plate (LCP) under general anaesthesia in 3 goats.
The plates used were 3.5 mm LCP with 12-18 mm screws in the
goats weighing 18.3-21.4 kg. The clinical, radiological and
histopathological evaluation revealed uneventful fracture
healing with secondary callus formation in all the animals.
The technique and implants were found adequate to provide
stable fixation without any intraoperative and postoperative
complications.
