Objective:
To describe a technique and the outcome of using 3.5/4.5/5.0 Metaphyseal Locking Compression Plate for corrective osteotomy of mandibular brachygnathia.
Study Design:
Clinical report.
Animal:
Eight-month Thoroughbred horse.
Methods:
Severe mandibular brachygnathia was surgically treated by corrective osteotomy and fixation with 2 LCP 3.5/4.5/5.0 Metaphyseal plates inserted using minimally invasive technique.
Results:
Severe mandibular brachygnathia was treated successfully with minor complications and stable fixation after 3 months. Cosmetic outcome and owner satisfaction was excellent.
Conclusions:
Corrective osteotomy and fixation with LCP 3.5/4.5/5.0 Metaphyseal plates can be considered as a surgical technique for correction of severe mandibular brachygnathia in weanlings.
