The small animal fracture patient must be carefully assessed, then treated with an individualized approach. Goals of treatment should include limiting complications and allowing the patient to recover as much function as possible in the affected region. As surgical options have increased in recent years, practitioners must become familiar with a broader range of techniques and implants. In this webinar, gain a deeper understanding of modern implant characteristics, and explore how to use those characteristics to improve your skills and the stability of fracture constructs. New technology and how it can greatly enhance the practitioner’s ability to achieve surgical success and avoid use of outdated implant choices will also be reviewed.
What You'll Learn
- How to perform an initial assessment of fracture patients and fracture classification
- How to determine the choice and timing of fracture repair techniques and stabilization implants
- Skills to manage fracture sites, encourage soft tissue healing, and decrease the fracture healing timeline
- A review of the evolution of internal fixation options and surgical planning
- Tips for postsurgical care of fracture patients to maximize patient success and minimize complications and fixation failure
