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. 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 bone in dogs. The mean haematological values of haemoglobin, Packed Cell Volume and Platelates before surgery and on 7th day, 21st day, 30th day, 45th day and 60th day of surgery did not significantly differ within group. The mean alkaline phosphatase increased up to 45 days and subsequently decreased at 60 days. The mean cortisol values were higher before surgery, but the non-significant decrease in mean serum cortisol values were seen during fracture healing period and they returned to normal on 60 days.
