The general reduction and fixation methods of dog fractures are divided into external fixation and internal fixation.
1. External fixation: generally, it is only used in limbs, and the methods used include Thomas frame, pressure plate and quick-drying plaster. 2. Internal fixation: According to the fracture site, bone plates, bone nails, bone screws, steel wires and other materials are often mixed.
The situation after treatment and the speed of fracture healing are related to the following factors.
1. age: puppies recover faster, and the older they are, the slower they heal. 2. Fracture form: The more complicated the fracture, the slower the healing speed. 3. Fixation method: When using bone nail or external fixation, the bone heals faster, and if using bone plate, the healing time is doubled.
The treatment of fracture is time-sensitive, so when a dog has a fracture, it should be treated immediately.
