Radiographic union was documented in 29\/30 fractures at a median of 8 weeks postoperatively. Of the cases with long-term follow-up available, 21\/24 had a full function and 3\/24 had an acceptable function. Five complications occurred, including infection (n\u2009=\u20092), screw migration (n\u2009=\u20091), bandage sores (n\u2009=\u20091), and peri-plate fracture (n\u2009=\u20091).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this population of miniature and toy-breed dogs, 1.5-mm locking plates provided effective fixation for radial and ulnar fractures.
