A five-month-old, male German shepherd dog was presented with a left hindlimb deformity. Wearing a cast for a prolonged period to treat left metatarsal fractures at eight weeks of age had resulted in physeal closure of the calcaneus, metatarsals and phalanges. Hyperextension of the phalanges and ulceration of the plantar skin proximal to the main tarsal pad were seen. The left foot was 40 mm shorter than the right. At seven months of age, a modified circular external skeletal fixator (CESF) was used to perform distraction osteogenesis of the metatarsal bones for 28 days. The CESF apparatus was removed after eight weeks when there was radiographic consolidation of regenerate bone. At follow-up evaluations four and 12 months after surgery, the phalangeal hyperextension and plantar skin ulceration had resolved. No lameness was detected.
