  • Title: Use of a bone plate for repair of proximal physeal fractures of the tibia in two foals.
    Author: White NA, Blackwell RB, Hoffman PE.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1982 Aug 01; 181(3):252-4. PubMed ID: 7107502.
    Abstract:
    Salter-Harris type II proximal tibial fractures were repaired in two 1-month-old foals, using a dynamic compression plate. The plate was placed on the medial aspect of the tibia, and a single cancellous bone screw was used to reduce the proximal fragment displacement. The plate provided fixation during healing and functioned as a transphyseal bridge, which induced a disparity in growth and corrected a slight lateral angulation of the limb. Limb growth after plate removal was normal.
