Treatment of Fractures of the Tibial Tuberosity in the Dog

Of 27 dogs with fractures of the tibial tuberosity, 24 were treated by various methods of open reduction. Follow-up examination was obtained in 21 cases, and it was found that all but one fracture healed in 8 weeks. Tension band wiring and single interfragmentary screws were most commonly used; healing was similar in both groups.
