The study was conducted in 12 clinical cases of dogs presented to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology in Bidar. They were randomly divided into two groups consisting of 6 animals each. In group I fracture was repaired using interlocking nail (ILN) and in group II with locking compression plate. The fracture healing was studied after the operation on day 0 (immediate), 15th, 30th and 60th. In both groups, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels were estimated pre-operatively and on the above days for assessment of fracture healing. The mean values of serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase gradually increased from the pre-operative day reaching significantly the highest (p<0.05) level on the 15th post-operative day, after which the concentration gradually reduced till the 60th post-operative day in both the groups. The increase in serum alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher at day 15th post operative in group I than in II, and all the values were within the physiological limit.
