4.5mm DCP Plates for Veterinary Use – Equine Fracture Repair Solutions

What Are 4.5mm DCP Plates?

Dynamic Compression Plates (DCP) are stainless steel 317 used to stabilize bone fractures. The 4.5mm DCP plate is specifically designed for large animals, including horses, due to its:

• High strength – Supports weight-bearing bones

• Compression capability – Promotes primary bone healing

• Versatility – Used for long bones (e.g., radius, tibia, metacarpal fractures)

The 4.5mm size is ideal for adult horses, providing the necessary rigidity without excessive bulk.

Applications of 4.5mm DCP Plates in Equine Surgery

Veterinarians use 4.5mm DCP plates for various orthopedic procedures in horses, including:

1. Long Bone Fractures

• Metacarpal/Metatarsal fractures (Cannon bone breaks)

• Tibial and radial fractures

• Olecranon fractures (Elbow injuries)

2. Joint Stabilization

• Arthrodesis (joint fusion) in cases of severe arthritis or ligament damage

3. Non-Union Fractures

Where natural healing fails, DCP plates provide mechanical stabilityBenefits of 4.5mm DCP Plates for Horses

1. Superior Compression & Stability

• The oval screw holes allow dynamic compression, ensuring tight bone contact for faster healing.

2. High Load-Bearing Capacity

• Made from medical-grade stainless steel/titanium, these plates withstand the high forces exerted by horses.

3. Proven Surgical Success

• Widely used in veterinary orthopedics with a high success rate in fracture repair.

4. Cost-Effective Solution

• • Compared to locking plates (LCP), DCP plates are more affordable while still providing excellent stability.

Surgical Considerations for Equine DCP Plate Fixation

1. Pre-Surgical Planning

• Radiographs (X-rays) are essential to assess fracture type and plate length required.

• Plate contouring may be needed to match bone anatomy.

2. Surgical Technique

• Compression method: Screws are placed eccentrically to apply compression.

• Neutralization method: Used with additional fixation (e.g., lag screws).

3. Post-Operative Care

• Stall rest for 6-8 weeks to prevent implant failure.

• Follow-up X-rays to monitor healing progress.

Antibiotics & pain management to prevent infection and discomfort.
