Stabilization of fractures at distal third of antebrachial bones in toy breed dogs is often connected with bone healing complications, including delayed union or nonunion. In the present study 9 toy breed dogs with fractures at distal third of the epiphysis of two antebrachial bones were treated. Each dog had fractured both thoracic limbs. In all the dogs, internal stabilization was applied using the 1 mm, 4 or 5 - hole reconstructive mini plates. In three dogs mini plates were applied in treatment of non-union of antebrachial bones. In each case radius bone was stabilized only. X-ray examination performed in all the dogs 10 weeks postoperatively showed complete adhesion of treated bones. It was found that application of reconstructive mini plates in treatment of simultaneous fractures of distal shaft of both antebrachial bones is effective therapeutic method.
