BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Fracture Repair and 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.

The manual covers the background to fracture management, principles of fracture management, repair and management of specific fractures and the treatment and prevention of complications. New chapters address topics such as minimally invasive surgery, orthopaedic implants and bone grafts.

“"This book bridges the gap between basic orthopedic texts and advanced works regarding fracture management in small animals...The amount of information this book contains regarding fracture management in cats is particularly noteworthy...The section on implants is one of the most comprehensive aggregations of information on that topic available...The illustrations and photographs add tremendously to understanding...The authors should be congratulated on creating a successful textbook that should be in the library of every veterinary orthopedic surgeon." ( Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association 15/03/2017)”
