UNASSIGNED: The incidence of complications secondary to @entity174 stabilization, particularly @entity690 and bony @entity5 formation, has long been difficult to evaluate. The objective of this study was to describe the long-term incidence of aggressive bony changes developing in @entity235 with long bone diaphyseal fractures stabilized by metallic bone plates compared to a breed-, sex-, and age-matched control group. The medical records of a tertiary referral center were retrospectively reviewed for @entity235 that matched each respective criterion. Signalment, history, cause of @entity204 (if applicable), and aggressive bony changes at previous @entity174 sites were recorded. Ninety @entity235 met the criteria for inclusion in the @entity174 group and were matched with appropriate control @entity235 . Four of the @entity235 in the @entity174 group developed aggressive bony changes at the site of previous @entity174 repairs most consistent with osseous @entity5 . One lesion was confirmed with cytology as neoplastic. The population of @entity235 was mixed with regard to breed and body weight, but all @entity235 with @entity146 were male. Incidence of @entity146 formation in the @entity174 group was 4 (4.4%) and was 0 (0%) in the control group; three (75%) of the affected @entity235 in the @entity174 group included cerclage as a component of their primary @entity174 stabilizations. Incidence of @entity146 in the @entity174 group compared to the control group was determined to be statistically significant (p   =   0.0455), as was the incidence of cerclage among @entity235 affected by @entity146 compared to the rest of the @entity174 group (p   =   0.0499). Development of @entity146 is an uncommon complication of @entity174 fixation. Additional research is needed to further identify and elucidate the long-term effects of metallic implants in @entity235 .
