AB  - Bony shuttle pin splints were obtained from slaughtered camel metacarpal bone and bovine femoral bone and used for repair of induced femoral fractures in small animals. Clinical and radiographic comparative study between Camel and bovine bones and follow-up of these cases showed that the Bony shuttle pin splints  obtained from  camel metacarpal bone is effective for immobilization of the femoral fractures. Good alignment and healing were seen by radiological examination. No side effect due to application of these splints. Non of the bony pins obtained from other source (bovine) where strong enough  to support the fractured femur more than a few day due to decalcification of bony pins at the fracture line.
