This new text provides broad coverage of all fractures, descriptions of the surgical approaches, application of implants to specific bones, and fracture repair. It thoroughly defines fracture mechanics and the healing process, emergency transportation, selection of repair methods, instruments and implants, and much more. Predisposing conditions, characteristic fracture patterns and incidences, options for treatment and experiences with selected techniques will make the text an authoritarian volume for practitioners and more experienced equine surgeons to consult for up-to-date information.
