Lateral Approach for Distal Articular Fractures of Humerus in Canines-A Review of 4 Cases

Background: Humeral condylar fractures have fracture lines that extend through the joint surface and one or both epicondyles epicondylar crests, into distal shaft. Addressing articular in dogs lateral approach by using positional transcondylar screws. Methods: A total of four cases with different age groups, breeds sex fore limb lameness caused due to trauma were included study. Clinical standard radiological examination all revealed intercondylar reduced range motion where condyle extending from surface. After preoperative evaluation animals subjected surgical reduction under general anaesthesia screws (n=2) without K-wires cross fashion (n=2). This avoided necessity olecranon osteotomy triceps tenotomy their associated complications. Result: Excellent utility was obtained during postoperative period clinical radiographical grading system. To conclude, use fully threaded cortical found effective for management humeral via exposure.
