    Cyril Roy I thought intramedulary pinning is old fashioned and too much work..drilling...messy....Is it still the prefered choice in surgery circles...I have been out of touch with small animal practice for a long time guys..so dont take my comments seriously

    jaya isr, wwhere is the pin end, it seems to have extended well over the femur head? or am i wrong.
    
    @ cyril, for GP's, pinning plating and ex fix are the only options. the rest of the more advanced techniques need lots of practice not possib...See more

    Cyril Roy Seems like the whole pin is inside..Normally it cut at the top and should be blunt..isnt it..Hi Guruji....Needs explanation...Guruji..Namashkar..

    Gautam Unny i would have preffered the end at the knee joint to be blunt too. that way it does not penetrate the joint capsule,
    
    yes swarup must have been tough on a pup
