BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Fracture Repair and Management, 2nd Edition

The ability to repair and manage fractures is an everyday necessity in practice, and this new edition builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor, with an increased focus on implants, grafts and surgery. Previous sections have been expanded and updated: the manual gives a detailed overview of specific fractures and how to approach them; principles of fracture surgery and the necessary techniques and complications such as disease or implant failure and how to deal with them. The text is accompanied by full-colour illustrations and step-by-step guides, ensuring that information is both easy to follow and comprehensive. This new edition has an increased focus on operative techniques and includes easy-to-follow illustrated guides. The text has been divided into four distinct subject areas: background to fracture management; principles of fracture management; management of specific fractures and complications. New chapters for this edition address topics such as minimally invasive surgery, instrumentation, implants, bone grafts and coverage of bone development. This manual will prove invaluable to practitioners who frequently deal with trauma management and fracture management. Fracture management has developed rapidly since the first edition of this manual was published. Fully revised and updated, this second edition has an increased focus on operative techniques and includes easy to follow guides with specially commissioned full-colour illustrations.
