Abstract

A 8 months old female dog with the combination of a fracture of the proximal tibia (Salter-Harris type I) with an avulsion of the tibial tuberosity was repaired with cross intramedullary pin for proximal tibial physeal fracture, and intramedullary pin combined with tension band wire for avulsion fracture of tibial tuberosity, resulted in complete healing. At 45 days after operation, on the radiological views, there was premature closure of growth plate of proximal tibia and tibial tuberosity, but at 7 months no developing growing deformities.
