Abstract

This case review presents the successful treatment of a non-healing transverse fracture of the radius and ulna in a 3-year-old male non-descript breed dog using Titanium Elastic Nailing System (TENS). The fracture occurred due to an automobile accident and failed to heal despite initial external fixation with a Thomas splint. Surgical intervention involving intramedullary fixation with titanium nails resulted in complete healing within 3 months.
