title: Fracture complications. An overview.
abstract: No surgical procedure is free of complications. Determining the reason that a complication of a fracture repair occurred and developing a treatment plan are important if the objectives of fracture treatment are to be met. It is also necessary to deal with owners, and, sometimes, other veterinarians in meeting these objectives.
