Among 20 fracture cases, 8 fractures in 8 calves were treated by closed reduction and external fixation by using bamboo splints and plaster of Paris.

PAS 2

Bambusa arundinacea (Bamboo, family Poaceae), commonly known as bamboo, causes decrease inflammation thereby helping in fracture healing. It has benzoic acid, traces of cyanogenic glycoside, and silicon substances which help in fracture healing. It also has calcium phosphorus and zinc. Oral or topical application of paste of stem or leaves is used in fracture healing. Singh, V., 2017. Medicinal plants and bone healing. National journal of maxillofacial surgery, 8(1), p.4..

Disease Description
|
Accidents happen. Sometimes a cow steps on her calf, breaking its leg, or a limb fractures due to extensive or improper pressure applied during a difficult calving. Bone fractures occur in cattle of all ages, but they are most common in those <1 yr old. Corrective procedures may be justified economically in this age group, provided that joints are not involved. External fixation techniques or Thomas splints have been used successfully. In selected cases, percutaneous transfixation or internal fixation may be attempted.(https://www.msdvetmanual.com/musculoskeletal-system/lameness-in-cattle/fractures-in-cattle (dated: 8/4/2020))

Management Practices
|
"Two splints or a cast may be used to provide external coaptation for temporary stabilization of the fracture. Two boards or pieces of a large polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe cut in half and placed 90 to each other (eg, caudal and lateral aspect of the limb) create a stable external coaptation."
