An unusual sequel to intra-medullary pinning

Abstract

Extract

The use of an intra-medullary pin for repair of a midshaft fracture of the dog's femur is usually followed by excellent bone healing. Untoward sequelae may follow poor technique, or the use of pins in cases in which other techniques are indicated. This communication records an unusual sequel to intra-medullary pinning which the writer has not observed previously.
