title: Transtumoral plating as a novel method for palliative limb spare and thromboembolism in a dog with a distal radial primary bone tumor.
abstract: A 7-year-old, spayed, female great Pyrenees with a primary tumor of the distal radius was treated with placement of a bone plate that spanned the tumor. The goals were palliation and prevention of pathologic fracture. This is an option for select patients with osteosarcoma.
