A little poodle, 4 months old, male, 0.7kg, fell down from master's arms, caused a radial distal fracture, because of the radial diameter is just 3.3mm, we used BlueSAO PRCL-3.5mm locking plate fixing it, and also limited his movements after surgery.

Considering that the growth plate of puppy is not closed, this fixationacrossthe distal radial growth plate will affect bone growth, so we should remove the bone plate early. Thirty days later, the little guy totally recoveried, and the plate had been removed.

Thanks for Dr. Lu from Zhuhai Nongda Lide Animal Hospital of Guangdong province bringing us the case.
