BookPublisher: 2002Subject(s): Department of Clinical Medicine & SurgeryDDC classification: 0731,T Dissertation note: Mandibular fractures in dogs mostly occur as a result of road accidents, usually due to hit by vehicle and during dental extractions. Immobilization is essential and must resist the stresses of eating and chewing.
Different techniques have been established in the past for the repair of mandibular fractures such as bone plating, wiring, pinning, use of K.E. apparatus, use of lag screw for repairing symphyseal fracture and application of tape muzzle. Among the above mentioned techniques bone plating and wiring are frequently used methods for repairing mandibular body fracture in dogs.
The present project was designed to compare the two techniques i.e. plating and wiring for the repair of mandibular fracture in dogs.
Study was conducted on twelve adult dogs, which were divided into two groups i.e. A and B, comprising six animals each. In group A, fracture was repaired with Auto Compression Plate and in group 13, with stainless steel wire. The dogs of group A were numbered from 1 to 6 and those of group B from 7 to 12 for identification purpose.
All the experimental dogs were kept over a period of three months post-operatively at Surgery Section, College of Veterinary Sciences, Lahore. Different parameters were studied to select the best technique for the repair of mandibular fracture in dogs. These parameters were as under:
1. Physical examination
2. Radiographic evaluation
3. Post-Euthanasia examination
The analysis of the results clearly indicated that the use of hone plating was a better option over wiring for the repair of mandibular fracture.
