The use of cerclage wire for surgical repair of unilateral rostral mandibular fracture in horses

Fractures of the rostral mandible in horses are the most common type of jaw fractures. The present study was performed for stabilization of rostral mandibular fracture with cerclage wire. In a retrospective case series, six client-owned horses with unilateral mandibular fractures were admitted to our clinic and suffered from a major gingival wound at rostral part of mandible. Rostral mandibular...

Mandibular-fracture repair in monkeys.

Experimental studies on repair of mandibular fractures in large animals have been limited, often by a lack of standardized and reproducible models and methods. Several authors studying methods and technics for mandibular-fracture immobilization in dogs have noted that intermaxillary fixation is not necessary for fracture healing.'-6 Conversely, other investigators have observed a high degree of...

Inflammation, fracture and bone repair.

The reconstitution of lost bone is a subject that is germane to many orthopedic conditions including fractures and non-unions, infection, inflammatory arthritis, osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, metabolic bone disease, tumors, and periprosthetic particle-associated osteolysis. In this regard, the processes of acute and chronic inflammation play an integral role. Acute inflammation is initiated by e...

Surgical repair of distal femoral fracture in a wild gray wolf (Canis lupus)

A 3-year-old wild gray wolf was referred to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences of ShirazUniversity with a history of car accident. The radiographic examination showed supracondylar distal femoralfracture in right leg. The wolf was pre-medicated by acepromazine followed by induction of anesthesia usinga combination of diazepam and ketamine. Anesthesia was maintained by halothane. The...
