【 摘 要 】

Distal humeral fractures were immobilized in five dogs by skeletal transfixation with Steinmann pins and stabilized with autopolimerizing acrilic. The devices were adapted in a craneo-caudal way with immobilization of the elbow. Fractures were unilateral in three dogs, bilateral in an other and unilateral with infection in the other one. The methodology utilized offered appropriate recovery of the dogs, The technique may be indicated as effective option and low cost.
