Abstract

External coaptation of radial-ulnar and tibial fractures with casts or modified Thomas splint-cast combinations is a useful treatment. The economics of therapy make this method of treatment feasible for commercial animals. Current estimates for the cost of treatment of tibial fractures with Thomas splint-cast combinations are $225.00 for calves and $410.00 for cattle if the metal splints are reused. Casts have similar costs. The availability of external coaptation techniques to all veterinarians and the success of treatment make external coaptation a good method for the treatment of many tibial and radial-ulnar fractures in cattle.

摘要

用石膏或改良的托马斯夹板 - 石膏组合对桡尺骨和胫骨骨折进行外部固定是一种有效的治疗方法。治疗的经济性使这种治疗方法对商业养殖动物可行。目前估计，使用托马斯夹板 - 石膏组合治疗小牛胫骨骨折的成本为225.00美元，如果金属夹板重复使用，牛的治疗成本为410.00美元。石膏的成本与之相似。所有兽医都可采用外部固定技术，且治疗成功率高，这使得外部固定成为治疗牛许多胫骨和桡尺骨骨折的好方法。
