Arthrodesis of the right stifle was performed in a 21 kg German shepherd dog that had sustained a comminuted fracture of the lateral femoral condyle as a result of a gunshot wound. The arthrodesis was stabilised with a circular external skeletal fixator. A simplified technique to facilitate creation of the osteotomies of the femur and tibia, and positioning of the stifle at the desired angle, is described. Compression of the subchondral bone surfaces of the distal femur and proximal tibia was achieved using tensioned coiled transarticular Kirschner wires. Arthrodesis of the stifle was confirmed radiographically 21 weeks following surgery, and the fixator was removed. After union of the arthrodesis and removal of the fixator, the dog was fully weightbearing when standing or walking, and intermittently weightbearing or non-weightbearing at faster gaits.
