- Title
Repair of hock fractures in racing greyhounds.
- Authors
Jones, J. M.
- Abstract
The article discusses how to repair the hock fractures in racing greyhounds. It describes the procedure carried out in greyhound under general anaesthesia. It uses a cream containing an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce the traumatic skin reaction. Radiography is important as a guide to identify the optimal positions of injury. It suggests that the common approach to treating this type of injury is either to use casting or screw osteosynthesis.
