Stabilization of a physeal fracture using an Orthofix (R) partially-threaded Kirschner wire

Successful treatment of humeral condylar fractures requires accurate reduct ion and rigid internal fixation which can be difficult to achieve in toy an d/or miniature breed dogs. Stabilization of a Salter-Harris type IV physeal fracture of the numeral condyle was simplified by using Orthofix (R) parti ally-threaded Kirschner wire and provided excellent clinical results in a 1 .5 kg miniature pinscher.
