Twenty mongrel dogs of either sex were taken and divided into two groups of 10 dogs each. In group 1 the surgically created mid shaft femoral fracture was immobilized using single intramedullary pin with hemicerclage wires. Whereas, in group 2 the fracture was immobilized with stack pinning, first pin was introduce in a retrograde and the second pin in a normograde fashion. All the dogs were kept in kennels for a period of sixteen weeks and results are collected on the basis of clinical and radiographic evaluation. All the dogs were euthanised at the end of experimental period and operation sites were explored to find out the gross changes. The analysis of the results clearly indicated the intramedullary pinning with hemicerclage wires was a better choice over stack pinning for repairing mid shaft transverse femoral fractures.
