Minimally invasive osteosynthesis of a distal humeral Salter‐Harris type II fracture by percutaneous pinning

A 13.2‐kg, skeletally immature German shepherd dog presented with acute onset non–weight‐bearing right forelimb lameness. A mildly displaced, distal humeral Salter‐Harris type II fracture was diagnosed using radiographs and CT scan which demonstrated a characteristic ‘corner’ sign. Closed reduction was achieved using ligamentotaxis techniques and stabilisation was performed via percutaneous pinning under fluoroscopic guidance. Physical...
