Abstract :
The tibia is one of the slowest–healing bones in the body especially at the distal diaphyseal fracture, so the objective of this study, was to investigate the efficacy of omentum transposition on the healing of tibial fracture of the dogs. Ten healthy mongrel dogs were used in this experiment. Tibial distal third fractures were induced and immobilized by intramedullary pins. The animals divided into two equal group (n=5). The first group as a control groups (CG) and the second groups used omental transposition as treated groups (TG). Comprehensive studies were including lameness grade, functional outcome, radiographic evaluation and histopathological examination. The clinical result showed that the lameness grade was improved on immediate postoperative day in all TG animals and the functional outcome was graded as excellent in three cases (60.0%) and good in two cases (40%). Radiographs and histopathological sample have been taken for each group. On day 56 post operations, the radiological results of the treated group showed complete disappeared of fracture line, remodeling of fracture site and clinical union was evidenced by closure of fracture. Histological result showed that the treated group had highly vascularized, remodeling of trabecular bone, good appositional surfaces and active of endochondral ossification. The conclusion of study, it is appeared the omental pedicle enhancing healing of the distal third tibial fracture.
