Welcome to the section on clinical studies of fracture repair. This interactive module is designed to allow you, the vet student, the opportunity to utilize the skills you've been taught to determine the appropriate methods of surgical fixation given the case situations described. However, it is important to realize that most fractures can be repaired by more than one mode of fixation. The choice of the chosen technique is determined by the circumstances of the owner, the patient, and the characteristics of the fracture involved. Reasons for the different methods in each case will be explained and terms will be defined where appropriate. Now, begin by selecting from the different available case studies below.
