An alternative method for external coaptation of fractures in young animals utilizes tongue depressors incorporated in a bandage consisting of a thick layer of cotton padding, gauze bandaging, and adhesive tape. This method was used in 13 cases with fractures of the tibia or the radius and ulna, some of which were open. Five cases (four dogs and a cat) had displaced fractures, and eight cases had either nondisplaced or only mildly displaced fractures. Size of the animal was not considered a limiting factor. Bandages were examined periodically. All fractures healed uneventfully, and the splints were removed 21-to-44 days after application. This method of external coaptation proved to be easy to apply and modify during the healing process and was applicable to a wide variety of fractures with good results.
一种用于幼龄动物骨折外部固定的替代方法是使用压舌板，将其置于由厚层棉垫、纱布绷带和胶带组成的绷带中。该方法用于13例胫骨或桡尺骨骨折病例，其中一些为开放性骨折。5例（4只狗和1只猫）为移位骨折，8例为无移位或仅轻度移位骨折。动物体型不作为限制因素。定期检查绷带。所有骨折均顺利愈合，夹板在应用后21至44天拆除。这种外部固定方法在愈合过程中易于应用和调整，适用于多种骨折，效果良好。
