Abstract: This study discusses the results of a histological examination of bone calluses in the treatment of tibia fractures in sheep with the involvement of a semi-circular fixator. In all sheep, callus samples revealed the presence of well-developed, compact bone tissue in the area of fracture healing. It was found that the use of a semi-circular fixator promoted bone growth, and that it is an effective method for tibia fracture treatment in sheep.
