A 10-week-old male, Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican hairless dog), weighing 8.9 kg was presented after its owner accidentally stepped on its paw. The dog presented with acute pain, inflammation and grade IV lameness in the right hind paw. A complete transverse fracture in the right proximal tibia was diagnosed from radiography. The dog underwent a minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) procedure. After surgery, photobiomodulation therapy combined with static magnetic field (PBMT-sMF) was applied twice daily for 21 days. A multi-wavelength PBMT-sMF device was applied at three sites using different frequencies: proximal and distal of the fracture zone (3000 Hz, 40.35 J per site, and 300 s per site) and in the fracture zone (250 Hz, 39.11 J and 300 s per site). Follow up radiographies were performed after surgery and treatment with PBMT-sMF. Eighteen days post-surgery the healing process of bone was advanced. Fifty-five days post-surgery the callus was enlarged. In addition, radiographic union and clinical union was evidenced by closure of the fracture gap. This case report has reported the use of PBMT-sMF in order to accelerate and improve bone healing following a MIPO procedure on a complete transverse fracture in the proximal tibia of a puppy.
