Associação de placa e pino intramedular em fratura de tíbia em cão: relato de caso

Abstract

Surgery to correct tibial fractures aims to re-establish the bone discontinuity, preserving the stability of the region until the new bone consolidation, and has been increasingly routine in the clinic for small children. Bearing in mind that radiography as a form of diagnosis in orthopedics and traumatology, allowed for better strategies to approach these surgeries, the use of fixators, rods and plates to correct these fractures. In view of this, the objective was to report a case of a dog, SRD, with a diagnosis of tibial fracture, and submitted to osteosynthesis with the plate-rod technique as a treatment.
