In a study with 12 dogs, fractures were treated using IM Steinmann pin fixation alone (group I) or implants along with cryopreserved canine amniotic membrane as a scaffold (group II). Group II dogs showed better outcomes, including early weight bearing, reduced lameness, increased limb girth and improved function. Amniotic membrane's use as a scaffold may enhance fracture healing and functional recovery.
