The article describes the case clinical  trauma surgery of a complete fracture to the short radius bezel of the medial diaphysis and proximal/diaphysis, and with a complete transverse fracture of the distal/diaphysis to the ulna, high energy trauma, of a male canine, 6 months old of age, weighing 5.6 kilograms caused by impact from a motorcycle. The animal arrived at a hospital specializing in small animals and presented with pain and claudication of the right anterior limb. Surgical resolution was achieved with the use of two dynamic compression plates (DCP) 5 holes, and 9 cortical screws. The prognosis for the animal is good, achieving improved stability, prompt recovery of movements and without secondary infections presenting.
