502			_aThe study of "Treatnt of TibiaS fractures in the cog" through pinning end plating was undertaken primarily for introducing this branch of orthopaedic surgery here to keep pace with other countries of the erld, besides ascertaining the conp are- tive efficiency of both the aforesaid techniques. A total number of 32 dogs of local breed were selected for this purpose and were divided into eight groups of four animals each, The ani:aals in one group n of the sane sex and aqroximately of uniform age, size and weight, tine group of animals was used at a time, The left tibiae of the animals were broken approximately in the zui&ie with the help of chisel and haaaer under general anaesthesia of Intraval Sodiwa, Half of the fractures were ictnobilized using stainless steel intrameduUary pins and the recaining half by stainless steel bone plates, The aninols were kept under the same environmental conditions and fed on sane ration during the post-operative period, The results indicated that both the methods were just equaUy good as far as iaobilization art callus formation was concerned, However, pinning is prefexrd in view of its being simple ext less laborious both at the time of its introduction and removal after recovery. runhcr,,:e, from experiencing very negligible post-operative cocç; ications, pinning was quite economical as compared to plating,
