Abstract:
Six bovine cases which underwent supercutaneous plating for the repair of compound metatarsal fracture, physiological and hemato-biochemical changes were evaluated before surgery and on 1^st, 7^th, 15^th, 30^th, 45^th and 60^th post-operative days. The changes in the physiological and hematological values were within normal range and statistically non-significant throughout the study period due to less surgical stress, very minimal bleeding and medications. The biochemical parameters like serum calcium, phosphorus showed statistically non-significant variations. Whereas, serum alkaline phosphatase levels were elevated up to 30^th postoperative day and returned to normalcy by the end of the study period.
