A healthy 71-day-old female Japanese Black calf was evaluated for fracture of the left humerus. The left humeral fracture was treated by closed repair and unilateral external skeletal fixation (ESF) with an epoxy putty fixator. The calf was active, and eight days after surgery slipped and fell, resulting in breakage of the ESF. The calf underwent repair by transfixation pinning and casting (TPC), which is an alternative to the ESF method. The TPC was removed 37 days after the first surgery, and the calf could bear weight on the left forelimb while walking. This case suggests that recovery after closed repair with TPC for a humeral fracture in an active calf can be successfully managed on the farm.
对一头健康的71日龄日本黑毛雌性犊牛的左肱骨骨折进行了评估。左肱骨骨折采用闭合修复和使用环氧腻子固定器的单侧外固定架（ESF）进行治疗。这头犊牛活动自如，但术后八天滑倒，导致外固定架断裂。该犊牛接受了贯穿针固定和石膏固定（TPC）修复，这是外固定架方法的替代方案。首次手术后37天拆除了贯穿针固定和石膏固定，这头犊牛在行走时左前肢能够承重。该病例表明，在农场中，对于活跃的犊牛肱骨骨折采用贯穿针固定和石膏固定进行闭合修复后的恢复情况可以得到成功处理。
