| Abstract | A six-year-old female Murrah buffalo was brought with the complaint of hind limb fracture. Clinical examination revealed compound fracture of a metatarsal bone with an open wound on the medial aspect. The fracture was stabilized using a fabricated PVC splint external coaptation. The daily dressing of wound was carried out using 5 percent povidone iodine through the window provided in the PVC splint. Inj. streptopenicillin 5 gm was given i/m daily for 10 days. The animal started partial weight bearing on the fractured limb on day 40. On day 90, the animal was bearing its complete weight on the fractured limb. There was no complication reported thereafter. |
