An 823-kg 4-year-old Holstein bull was examined because of acute lameness of the left forelimb. Radiography revealed a closed, comminuted, spiral fracture of the radius that extended from the distal portion of the diaphysis to the antebrachiocarpal joint. The fracture was repaired with combination of internal fixation (2 compression plates, 1 of which incorporated a condylar screw and both of which were luted) and external coaptation (full-limb cast and Thomas-Schroeder splint). The development of larger implants and the combination of internal and external fixation methods provides hope that certain fractures in cattle that were once thought irreparable can now be treated.
一头823千克重的4岁荷斯坦公牛因左前肢急性跛行接受检查。X线摄影显示桡骨闭合性、粉碎性、螺旋形骨折，骨折线从骨干远端延伸至前臂腕关节。采用内固定（2块加压钢板，其中1块带有髁螺钉且两者均用黏固剂固定）和外固定（全肢石膏绷带和托马斯 - 施罗德夹板）相结合的方法修复骨折。更大尺寸植入物的开发以及内固定和外固定方法的结合，为治疗某些曾被认为无法修复的牛骨折带来了希望。
