Eight cases of long bone fractures of femur and humerus were treated with plate rod construct, whereas, The preoperative anterio- posterior (AP) and lateral radiographs (L) of fractured limb were taken in each case for the diagnosis of fracture following light sedation. Preoperatively the animals were kept off food for 18 hours and withheld of water for 12 hours. Atropine sulphate (0.4 mg/kg) and dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg) was given half an hour prior to surgery. Diazepam (0.2 mg/kg) was administered intravenously, 10 minutes prior to induction of general anaesthesia with thiopentone sodium (15 mg/kg body weight) followed by maintained with isoflurane (1.5 - 2.0 %). the plate rod construct was applied by craniolateral approach in case of humerus and femur. The dogs showed excellent wound healing and none of the dog showed any complications after surgery. The period of 12.8 ± 2.3 days was required to attain normal gait for all the dogs, Normal shape of limb after fracture healing was observed, time required for clinical healing of fracture: was 62.25 ± 2.25days, time required to attaining full mobility: was 58.75 ± 6.67 days
