Redução de fratura de côndilo lateral do úmero com parafuso leg e pino de Steinmann – relato de caso / Lateral condyle fracture reduction in the humerus of a dog with compressive screw and Steinmann pin – case report

ABSTRACT

Cases of fractures are very common in veterinary clinics and hospitals, often with small animals affected. A fracture can be defined as complete or incomplete disruption of the continuity of a bone or cartilage. The humerus form the skeleton arm. It is a long bone which lies obliquely against the ventral part of the thorax. It plays a central role in the movement of the forelimb. The goal of this study is to describe a case report of a lateral condylar fracture reduction in the humerus of a dog using the compressive screw technique and Steinmann pin.
