Aimed at general practitioners, the session will demystify the biomechanics of bone healing, implant selection, and fixation techniques. Attendees will gain practical insights into how to assess fractures and choose appropriate stabilization methods. The session blends theory with clinical examples to empower better decision-making in everyday practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand the AO Principles:\u003cbr\u003eDescribe the four AO principles of fracture management-anatomical reduction, stable fixation, preservation of blood supply, and early functional use-and how they apply to small animal patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFracture Assessment:\u003cbr\u003eIdentify key radiographic and clinical features of fractures that influence repair planning, including fracture configuration, location, and patient factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImplant and Fixation Options:\u003cbr\u003eGain a basic understanding of the common methods of fixation-pins, wires, plates, and external fixators-and when each might be appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiomechanics of Fixation:\u003cbr\u003eAppreciate the biomechanical principles behind stability, load sharing, and load bearing to guide implant selection and positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__title\"\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m-seminar-entry__item__speakers__speaker__name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark Newman\u003c\/strong\u003e, BVSc MVS MANZCVS DipECVS, Specialist in Small Animal Surgery - VetSurg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Singapore Vet 2025","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60313168412958,"sku":"cwz1791942389705","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/1992\/9374\/files\/a-practical-approach-to-fractures-in-general-practice---from-triage-to-fixation-_1.png?v=1791942395","url":"https:\/\/upcycledstylewear.shop\/products\/a-practical-approach-to-fractures-in-general-practice-from-triage-to-fixation-svs25","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
