The study was conducted to analyse the distribution of diaphyseal tibial fracture in dogs presented for surgical management. Among inciting causes, the automobile accident was the important cause of tibia fracture. High prevalence of tibia fracture was seen in male (80%) dogs, weighing 20–30 kg (46.67%). Animals below 12 months of age were more predisposed (46.67%); Pitbull (33.33%) and Labrador Retriever (20%) were the most commonly affected dog breeds. Among the types of fracture, simple spiral fracture (5), oblique (1) and transverse fractures (4) were most common.
