Abstract
Three dogs were presented with diaphyseal fracture of the tibia following separate motor vehicle accidents. On physical and orthopedic examinations, the dogs were noted to have soft-tissue swelling and a closed fracture in these tibia sites. Radiographs revealed a simple, short oblique fracture (case 1), a comminuted, spiral fracture (case 2), and a simple, spiral fracture (case 3) in tibia. Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using a veterinary cuttable plate or locking plate was applied for the treatment of these fractures. The surgery was successful, and the fractures healed without any complications by 7 weeks (case 1), 10 weeks (case 2) and 8 weeks (case 3) after surgery. Our patients showed fast bone healing times and early weight-bearing during the treatment of their tibia fractures. Therefore, MIPO was a useful procedure for diaphyseal fracture of the tibia in veterinary orthopedics.
