Radius/Ulna

1.5-mm locking plates provided effective fixation for radial and ulnar fractures.

Distraction osteogenesis and angular corrections can be considered as a treatment option for PCDRP in skeletally immature dogs.

Cats and dogs tolerated SLPs well.

The resolution of identified physeal pathology demonstrates the potential for spontaneous remission despite the presence of notable radiographic changes.

Objective: To assess the impact of a postoperative fracture gap on implant failure following radius and ulna fracture repair in toy breed dogs.

Medical records of radial-ulnar fracture cases in small dogs treated with plates and screws were reviewed.

The findings offer valuable insights for modified treatment approaches in managing fractures in toy breed dogs.

The findings provide valuable insights for veterinarians, aiding informed decisions in veterinary orthopedic practices.

The findings offer valuable insights for modified treatment approaches in managing fractures in toy breed dogs.

On follow-up examination 16 weeks after operatively, the lameness and elbow pain were resolved.
