Abstract:
Several surgical procedures can be better planned with the use of diagnostic imaging modalities. Radiography is an imaging modality that uses X-rays, or similar ionizing radiation to view the internal structures of the body. Determination of the best management option to be used for treatment of a fracture can be established through radiography. A case of humeral fracture was presented at the Small Animal Unit of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto with a chief complaint of limping on the right forelimb and reduced feed intake. It was sent to the Radiology Unit for radiograph after which it was managed using open reduction and internal fixation using improvised screw driver as intramedullary (IM) pin. Radiographic monitoring of the healing progress was done at 2 weeks interval. Healing was achieved at 6 week and the intramedullary pin was removed. The fracture healed successfully without complications.
Keywords: cat, fracture, oblique, radiography, intramedullary pin.
