Comminuted long bone fractures in four cats were repaired using stacked 2.0/2.7 mm cuttable plates. The plates were used as “lengthening plates", spanning cortical defects to maintain limb length. The defects were filled with autogenous cancellous bone graft. The plates did not fracture through unfilled screw holes and good to excellent limb function returned in all four cats.

Abstract ALTHOUGH ELECTRICAL STIMULATION to aid bone fusion is well established in the treatment of long-bone fractures, its use as an aid in spinal fusion is not as well documented. This article presents the history and scientific basis of electrical stimulation to aid bone fusion and extensively reviews the clinical literature. It is intended to provide an objective review of the indications and limitations of electrical stimulation to enhance spinal fusion and to serve as a reference source for further study.

Background: Fractures associated with bone loss requires stabilization with suitable fixation devices, placement of appropriate bone grafts to fill up the bone defects and barrier membranes as space maintainers for enhanced bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bone graft with collagen membrane as guided bone regeneration in long bone fractures with bone loss in dogs. Method: Six dogs with long bone fractures accompanied with bone loss in Radius-ulna, Femur and Tibia were surgically treated with suitable bone plate as internal fixation with β-TCP bone graft along with collagen membrane placed at the fracture site. Conclusion: The application of β-TCP along with collagen membrane for filling the bone defect is extremely simple, convenient and less time consuming and proved to be effective in promoting early bone healing with rapid later phase bone healing and provided osteoconductive support and early resorption.
