The Black Buck (Antelope Cervicara) is also known as the Indian antelope. Normally Black Buck inhabits medium sized grassy and undulating terran and reaches slightly forest areas. In free-ranging ruminants among the non-infectious diseases, fracture constitutes a major reason for mortality. Tibial fracture is predominant in small ruminants among the long bone fractures. Tibial fractures account for the third most common type of fracture after femur and radius and ulna and comprise 21.0 per cent of all long bone fractures. Tibial diaphyseal fractures account for 75.0 per cent to 81.0 per cent of all tibial fractures. Treatment of traumatic injuries and fracture in non-domestic animals is a challenging task due to hindrance in restrain & regular dressing of wound. It is also difficult to restrain animal during examination. A clinical case of severe traumatic injury of tibia in Black Buck reported to referral veterinary poly clinics. The animal stabilise with analgesic agent & fluid therapy. Next day amputation carried out by pre-anaesthetic agent xylazene 0.2 mg/ kg body weight I/m and local anaesthetic agent inj Xylocaine epidurally.
