Abstract: The research was carried out on six dogs that were admitted to with fractures of long bones. The fracture was diagnosed pre-operatively through radiographic and orthopaedic examination. In order to stabilize the fractures of all six canines, open reduction and internal fixation with 3.5mm string of pearl plates and cortical screws were utilized. As a consequence, the fracture was effectively immobilized and fixed. Radiographic analysis identified the development of periosteal and endosteal calluses beginning in the second week following the operation. In the sixth week following the operation, obliteration of the fracture line and radiographic union of fracture fragments were observed. Stable fixation resulted in the observation of complete radiographic union of fractured bone and minimal callus formation by the eighth postoperative week in every case. Fractures of long bones in canines were effectively treated with SOP plates, allowing for early, pain-free ambulation.
