Summary: Ulnar fractures in three horses were repaired using plate fixation whilst sedated and restrained in stocks in the standing position. In each horse, the triceps muscle attachment was intact. All horses recovered well from surgery and were stable for 3 months. The plate was removed 3 months after surgery in one of the horses because of a surgical site infection. In all three cases, the fracture was adequately reduced, and the horses returned to showjumping, pleasure riding and pasture turnout with a view to begin training. The surgical technique, local anaesthesia and sedation protocols are described. This is a novel technique that may be suitable in selected cases of ulnar fracture in the horse where triceps muscle engagement is present with mild fracture displacement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
