Repair of Radial Fractures in Toy Breed Dogs with Self‐Reinforced Biodegradable Bone Plates, Metal Screws, and Light‐Weight External Coaptation

Abstract

Biodegradable polylactide plates could be considered as an alternative to metal plates for radial fracture repair in Toy breed dogs, however available plates are likely not strong enough when used as a single plate. Implant removal is usually not needed.
