Carpal Arthrodesis—Indications and Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
Severe injuries involving the carpus are often characterized by multiple fractures of the various carpal bones with accompanying joint instability. Most such injuries can be managed successfully utilizing aggressive internal fixation techniques, with reasonably good prognosis for a pasture sound animal, satisfactory for breeding purposes.
