Surgical management of femoral neck fracture in dog with trans-articular pinning: A case report
International Journal of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry · 2024 · Vol. 9(2) · pp. 1034–1036
Abstract
A 22 kg female Labrador presented with non-weight bearing lameness on her left hind limb two days after an automobile accident. Physical examination revealed swelling and pain at the thigh muscles and coxo-femoral joint, with crepitation. Radiographs confirmed a fracture of the femoral neck on the left side. Surgical correction was performed under general anesthesia, utilizing trans-articular pinning with 3 Kirschner wires. The surgery was successful, and the dog experienced an uneventful recovery.
