Abstract: Bony shuttle pin splints were obtained from slaughtered camel metacarpal bone and used successfully for repair of induced femoral fractures in small animals. Clinical and radiographic follow-up of these cases showed that this type of splints is effective for immobilization of the femoral fractures. Good alignment and healing were seen by radiological examination. There is no side effect due to application of these splints.
