Abstract
A closed comminuted diaphyseal tibial fracture in an adult dog was stabilised with a custommade interlocking intramedullary nail. The fracture progressed to union by 14 weeks, by secondary bone healing. The use of interlocking intramedullary nails in human and veterinary orthopaedics is discussed.Keywords
