Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures are usually amenable to external coaptation using a short or full limb polyurethane resinimpregnated knitted fiberglass fabric cast. The prognosis for long-term pain-free survival is excellent for closed fractures and fair to good for open fractures managed in the manner. Surviving animals generally are not lame and do not demonstrate significant limb deformity or limb shortening and generally become completely productive. Even considering the narrow profit margin involved when treating cattle with serious injuries, this method of fracture management is usually economically and technically feasible.
掌骨和跖骨骨折通常适合使用短肢或全肢聚氨酯树脂浸渍针织玻璃纤维织物石膏进行外部固定。闭合性骨折长期无痛存活的预后极佳，以这种方式处理的开放性骨折预后为中等到良好。存活的动物通常不会跛行，也不会出现明显的肢体畸形或肢体缩短，并且通常能完全恢复生产能力。即使考虑到治疗重伤牛时利润空间狭窄，这种骨折处理方法在经济和技术上通常也是可行的。
