Two femoral fractures initially treated using ASIF methods failed to proceed to union prior to implant loosening. The Inoue method of external skeletal fixation (ESF) employing AO/ASIF screws for fracture fragment fixation, a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) side bar and cancellous bone grafting was used. The dogs retained good limb function while the external fixators were in place. In case # 1 the fracture proceeded to union without further complications. The dog in case # 2 maintained good limb function, however fixation screw failure occurred prior to complete fracture healing.
