Successful treatment of humeral condylar fractures requires accurate reduction and rigid internal fixation which can be difficult to achieve in toy and/or miniature breed dogs. Stabilization of a Salter-Harris type IV physeal fracture of the numeral condyle was simplified by using Orthofix® partially-threaded Kirschner wire and provided excellent clinical results in a 1.5 kg miniature pinscher

A biomechanical study was undertaken to evaluate the relative stability of three types of internal fixation used for ankle arthrodesis. Crossed screw fixation, RAF fibular strut fixation, and T-plate fixation were tested in 30 cadaver ankles using an MTS machine. T-plate fixation consistantly provided the stiffest construct when compared with the other types of fixation. Failure occurred by distraction of bony surfaces, posterior to the plane of fixation, in the crossed screw and RAF groups. In contrast, failure in the T-plate group occurred through compression of bone anterior to the midcoronal plane of the tibia. Although the stability of fixation is only one factor in determining the success or failure of ankle arthrodesis, the results of this study would support T-plate fixation over the other forms tested.
