  • Title: Internal fixation of a tibial fracture in an adult horse.
    Author: Bramlage LR, Hanes GE.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1982 May 01; 180(9):1090-4. PubMed ID: 7085478.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old Thoroughbred mare was examined because of hindlimb lameness from incomplete fracture of the tibia, which became a complete diaphyseal fracture during the examination. The fracture was repaired by open reduction and internal fixation with lag screws and 2 neutralization plates. A cranial approach was used and the plates were placed craniolateral and medial on the tibia. At 18 months after surgery, there was no evidence of complications resulting from the fracture or its repair. It was concluded that a cranial approach with craniolateral and medial plate placement allows easier insertion and gives increased stability over previously described methods.
