Less invasive techniques for equine fracture repair and arthrodesis

Dean W Richardson. Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

To repair equine fractures successfully, surgeons traditionally have done aggressive open approaches with maximal internal fixation to achieve adequate stability and comfort. Although the need for stability is unquestionable, newer technologies and imaging modalities have allowed improvement in the biology of internal fixation in selected fractures and arthrodeses.
