Radius and ulna fractures in two dogs were repaired by application of a bone plate to the cranial surface of the radius. In both dogs, two screws were placed through the radius and into the ulna. Return of function and bone healing occurred as expected; however, return of lameness at 5 and 7 months postoperatively was attributed to loosening of the transosseous screws. The lameness resolved following implant removal. Loosening of only the transosseous screws could have resulted from the normal motion between the radius and ulna.
