Abstract
A one year old female Sirohi crossbred goat was presented with a history of non weight bearing lameness on right hind limb. Radiography revealed comminuted fracture of tibial mid diaphysis. The comminuted fracture fragments and bone devoid of any soft tissue were surgically removed and the resultant segmental defect was reinstated with triphasic silica containing ceramic coated hydroxyapatite (HASi) after stabilising the fracture fragments with 2.7mm dynamic compression plate and screws. The animal recovered with normal limb ambulation after the eighth post-operative week.
Keywords: Comminuted, segmental defect, scaffold, HASi
