Evaluation shows no significant risk of malformation from angle-stable nails in juvenile femur fractures, suggesting safety for use.
Use of an angle-stable interlocking nail to stabilise femoral diaphyseal fractures in skeletally immature dogs can be performed without significant risk of developing proximal femoral malformation. Reductions in CORONA1 values may be anticipated due to reducing natural femoral procurvatum. Angle-stable interlocking nails should not be considered contraindicated for use in canine juvenile diaphyseal femoral fracture repair.
