Abstract

A five-month old female dog was presented to Teaching Anilmal Hospital, Gyeongasng National University for femur fracture. Previously the dog had been presented to a local hospital. Orthopedic and blood examinations were conducted. There was absent response of conscious propri- oception. The dog stood knuckled onto the digits and had hock dropped, but showed no117a1 values in WBC.RBC, Hb, PCV, BUN, Creatine, Glucose, Cholesterol, AST and ALT. Plain radioaraphs were taken and there were abundant periosteal reaction and malalignment of fragments. The dog was anesthetized and prepared for aseptic surgery. Joshi external fixator and half pins were applied(uni lateral). AT 8 weeks after surgery, the pins were removed from the bone. The fracture was well healed wish no evidence of original fracture line. but mild muscle atropy and shortening of femur were found.
