Extra-cortical osteosynthesis in fructures of the wing and the body of the ilium in dogs

Injuries of the musculoskeletal system in the form of fractures are common in the practice of a veterinarian. Modeling of bone fractures has the purpose to determine the optimal method of osteosynthesis. Subsequent application of the developed technique in practical conditions can reduce the percentage of complications and consequently improve the quality of treatment of animals. The aim of the study was the improvement of osteosynthesis in pelvic fractures, in particular, of the wing and the body of the ilium. The authors found that extra-cortical osteosynthesis in fractures of the wing and the body of the ilium with a bone plate, installed to the fracture line at an angle close to 90 °, allows stable and functional osteosynthesis and achieves early recovery of the statomotomical act. In this case, the plate is located ventrodorsally and is attached with two screws to the cranial fragment and two other screws are attached to the caudal one.
