Surgical Management of Salter-Harris Type IV Fracture With Partial Dislocation of Right Humerus in a Nondescript Female Dog

Abstract

A nondescript female dog was presented at MSVH, Kudappanakunnu with limbing and swelling of right forelimb with a history of fall from first floor. Anterio-posterior view on x ray revealed Salter Harris-IV fracture of distal condyle of right humerus with dislocation of the main bone. Taking all the aseptic precautions under general anaesthesia, surgical intervention was given and fracture was corrected. Surgical wound was sutured in standard routine manner. Uneventful recovery marked successful surgical intervention.
