Publisher's Synopsis
Treatment of Equine Fractures provides equine practitioners with a rapid and comprehensive reference to the management of specific fractures in the horse. For each fracture type described there is a literature review and a detailed description of treatment illustrated with line drawings, radiographs and case histories followed by results of treatment and prognosis. Although AO/ASIF techniques are used extensively in many of the fractures described, other methods of fixation are included where appropriate. Arthroscopy, growth disturbances and arthrodesis are also included. This book will be an invaluable reference for practitioners and for final year and postgraduate students with an interest in equine fracture repair.
