A 2y old, 30kg racing greyhound presented after sustaining an injury on the track. X-rays showed a slab fracture of the right central tarsal bone, and of the medial proximal corner of the 4th tarsal bone (T4) too.

This tibia fracture in a growing dog was un-displaced and was fixed in minimally invasive fashion with a locking plate that was slid along the bone between two small wounds.

A 12y female cat presented to us at West Midlands Veterinary Referrals with a 3-week-old tarsometatarsal fracture luxation.
