| dc.description.abstract | The incidence of tibial fractures was higher in small ruminants next to femur fractures. Various reduction and stabilization techniques have been introduced for the treatment of different types of fracture but Percutaneous tibial fracture repair by intramedullary pinning was one of the novel technique used for the tibial fracture repair in small ruminants. Six small ruminants with closed tibial fractures were selected and were repaired by the above mentioned technique. Physiological and hematological parameters varied non-significantly throughout the study period. The biochemical parameters like serum calcium and serum phosphorous varied non-significantly and increased alkaline phosphatase level from 1st to 30th postoperative day, came back to normal level by 60th postoperative day. All six animals gained complete weight bearing between 30th to 45th day. Radiographic evaluation revealed proper callus formation at the fracture site by 30th to 45th post-operative day. Based on the observations made in the present study it could be concluded that, this technique provided fewer chances of infection and rigid fixation throughout the fracture healing period. It could be easily practiced by any orthopaedic surgeon and can stabilize long bone fractures like tibia in small ruminants with least effort to surgeon. This technique showed effective immobilization of the fracture, less expensive, minimal invasive and feasible in the field conditions. | |
