| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted on 12 backyard poultry birds taken as experimental model for fracture repair. Tibio-tarsal bone fracture was created under xylazine-ketamine anaesthesia by obtaining permission from Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC). Birds were divided into two groups consisting of six birds in each group. In group I, the fractures were stabilized with non-locking reconstruction plate and in group II fractures were repaired with locking reconstruction plate. Xylazine @ 3mg/kg BW and ketamine @ 30mg/kg BW proved to be a good general anaesthetic combination for fracture repair in poultry. In group I, birds showed mild to moderate weight bearing from day 15 onwards and good to very good weight bearing on 30th and 45th post-operative days. However, in group II, the birds showed mild to moderate weight bearing from 7 th post-operative day itself and good to very good weight bearing from 30th and 45th post-operative days. On an average the weight bearing in birds fixed with both the plates were slightly similar from 45 th and 60th post-operative day. Both the types of reconstruction plates are not available commercially, have to be fabricated and are successful for fracture repair in birds. The fracture healed with minimal callus resembling primary union. The remodelling is quite early especially when screws were locked. In group I, callus formation was more appreciable at the fracture site as the screws were not locked for the reconstruction plate. In group II, the callus was very minimal for the reconstruction plate. The bio-chemical analysis showed non significant rise in serum calcium, serum inorganic phosphorous and serum alkaline phosphatase on 15th and 30th post-operative days and were within normal limits. The levels returned to base values by 45th and 60th post-operative day | en_US |
