Abstract

The success of orthopedic surgery in ruminants is directly related to the surgeon's knowledge and understanding of bone physiology and mechanics. The relationship of the macro and micro structure and function of bone as it relates to fracture physiology and repair is discussed. A basic review of the biomechanical principles of bone, bone fracture, and fracture repair are presented. The clinical and biomechanical principles of internal fixation are described for fracture repair in ruminants.
