Abstract

Equine tail syndrome occurs due to narrowing of the canal causing ischemia of the nerve roots L6, L7, S1 and S2 origin of the pudendal and sciatic nerve.The objective of this work is to report a case of a bitch, with no defined breed of approximately 9 months of age, attended at the veterinary hospital of Piauí, diagnosed with a lumbosacral fracture between l7 and S1, surgically treated by the segmental fixation technique modified with pins of Steinmann. The technique was effective in the stabilization and immobilization of the fracture, showing a good response in the recovery of the patient.
