Abstract

The present study is carried out to record the incidence of femoral fractures among different breeds of dogs, as well as to evaluate different fixation techniques recommended by variant teaching hospitals and private clinics in Egypt. This study was conducted on 654 clinical cases of both genders and different breeds suffering from different femoral fractures which were referred to some teaching hospitals and private pet clinics in Egypt over a period of 5 years. The obtained data regarding animal's age, breed, weight, treatment technique, minor and major complications were analyzed statistically based on client observations survey, clinical records, survey, and sequential follow-up radiographs. Femoral fracture accounts to be 44% of all canine long bone fractures. The diaphysis is mostly affected (64.9%) compared to other parts of the bone as well as, transverse and oblique fractures were reported to be 86.5%. Transverse, oblique, and comminuted diaphyseal femoral fractured were managed successfully using a plate-rod technique (71.4%), IMP alone (79%) or in combination with cerclage wire (77%) respectively. All cases were treated with interlocking nails (ILNs) and showed complete healing without complications. On the other hand, cross pining fixation was the best for the management of distal femoral fractures with a 77.8% success rate.
