dc.description.abstractThe present study was done to standardize the fracture fixation techniques, diagnose and manage, and record the regional occurrence of condylar and supracondylar fractures in dogs. Standardization was done on 20 cadaveric humerus and femoral bones. The fracture fixation techniques standardized included Rush and cross pinning, transcondylar lag screw, and anti-rotational pinning and bone plating. Also, femoral supracondylar bone plates were developed for fixation of supracondylar femoral fractures in dogs. The most suitable angles of insertion for Rush pinning was determined to be 20-350 and for cross pinning to be 30- 400 to the long axis of femoral bone. Transcondylar lag screw and anti-rotational pinning was found to provide good reduction and fixation of unicondylar humeral fractures. Reconstruction bone plates can be contoured to repair artificially created unicondylar and bicondylar humeral fractures and provided good reduction and fixation. Femoral supracondylar bone plates provided good fracture reduction and fixation without any need to contour the bone plate and also allowed for insertion of greater number of screws in the distal fracture fragment in osteotomized bones. A total of 18 condylar and supracondylar fractures of humerus and femur in dogs were presented. Of the 8 cases of humerus fractures, 5 were bicondylar, 2 were unicondylar and 1 supracondylar fracture. They were treated with transcondylar lag screw and anti-rotational pinning, bone plating and IM pinning/K-wires. 3 out of eight cases showed good outcome while the rest of the cases showed poor outcome. Complications seen included implant migration, screw loosening, and postoperative joint osteoarthritis. The humerus bicondylar fractures were technically most difficult fractures to treat. Of the 10 cases of femoral supracondylar fractures, Rush pinning was done in 7 cases, Rush pinning and Cross pinning was done in 1 case while bone plating and IM pinning was done in 1 case each. Out of 10 dogs, 7 dogs showed uneventful recovery with good to excellent outcome. Complications were seen in 2 cases, which included implant migration and quadriceps contracture while one dog died due to post anaesthetic complications. The overall incidence of condylar and supracondylar fractures in dogs was calculated to be 1.09 per cent. Such fractures form 50% of all humerus and 17% of the femoral fractures in dogs. Most of these fractures occurred in young dogs. The major cause of condylar and supracondylar fractures in humerus of dogs was fall from height and in femur, the automobile accidents.en_US
