A 3-year-old Thoroughbred mare was examined because of hindlimb lameness from incomplete fracture of the tibia, which became a complete diaphyseal fracture during the examination. The fracture was repaired by open reduction and internal fixation with lag screws and 2 neutralization plates. A cranial approach was used and the plates were placed craniolateral and medial on the tibia. At 18 months after surgery, there was no evidence of complications resulting from the fracture or its repair. It was concluded that a cranial approach with craniolateral and medial plate placement allows easier insertion and gives increased stability over previously described methods.
一匹3岁的纯种母马因胫骨不完全骨折导致后肢跛行前来检查，在检查过程中该骨折变为骨干完全骨折。通过切开复位并用拉力螺钉和2块中和钢板进行内固定来修复骨折。采用颅侧入路，将钢板置于胫骨的颅外侧和内侧。术后18个月，没有证据表明骨折及其修复引发并发症。得出的结论是，与先前描述的方法相比，采用颅外侧和内侧钢板放置的颅侧入路便于更轻松地插入钢板，并能增加稳定性。
