ABSTRACT: Femur is the most commonly fractured
bone in dogs. This work is interested in the technical aspects of
ostheosythesis with intramedullary pinning, and a quality of functional and
bone healing results. Our experimentation involved the use of four healthy male
dogs, by causing a transverse osteotomy in the mid shapt of in the left femur,
with clinical and radiological follow established. Our results show that the
intramedullary pinning is the most secure method and gives fewer complications
with second bone consolidation. At the end of our study, we have concluded that
using intramedullary pins is safe, economical and successful treatment method
if basic principles of repair are used.
