This authoritative text bridges the gap between basic orthopedic principles and practical clinical application, offering veterinary practitioners the knowledge and confidence needed to handle a wide range of fracture cases in general practice settings. Written with the busy practitioner in mind, this resource emphasizes evidence-based approaches while acknowledging the real-world constraints of time, equipment, and resources that general practitioners face daily. The book systematically covers fracture assessment, classification systems, and decision-making protocols that help practitioners determine when to treat, when to refer, and how to optimize patient outcomes. From emergency stabilization techniques to definitive fracture repair methods, readers will find detailed explanations of both traditional and contemporary fixation methods, including external coaptation, external skeletal fixation, intramedullary pinning, plate fixation, and minimally invasive techniques. Each chapter integrates clinical case examples, radiographic interpretation, and step-by-step procedural guidance to enhance understanding and practical application. Beyond surgical techniques, this comprehensive text addresses critical aspects of perioperative care, including pain management, postoperative monitoring, complication recognition and management, and rehabilitation protocols. Special attention is given to fractures in specific anatomical locations, pediatric fracture considerations, pathological fractures, and fracture healing complications. This resource empowers small animal practitioners to expand their orthopedic capabilities while maintaining the highest standards of patient care and surgical outcomes.
