I had a show puppy break both of the bones in her front leg about 8 months ago. I have the worlds best vet, we decided to put her under and set the leg, looking at xrays along the way to make sure it was lined up. She was a crazy puppy who came home running and 6 weeks latter removed the cast and she was perfect.
I chose NOT to plate the leg because a friends show puppy had the same thing and she went with the plate and she still has problems,
If you can find a vet that will take the time to set the leg properly , I think it would be your best bet,
I have 30yrs showing and breeding yorkies and am a CVT. Sometimes the old tried and true methods still work the best!
