Discussion

This observational analysis finds excellent limb function outcomes using Tie-in ESF in young dogs, indicating effective fracture stabilization.

Final limb function outcomes were excellent in 87.50% of treated cases, demonstrating the effectiveness of Tie-in ESF.
Radiographic bone union was achieved in six cases, supporting the reliability of intramedullary pin stabilization.
Complications were minor, including slight pin tract exudation and reduced stifle joint function, with no major impact on outcomes.
Weight bearing began by the 1st postoperative day and persisted until the 5th day, indicating a swift recovery.

Jyoti et al. (2024) studied this question.
