title: The sheep as a model for grade III human tibial trauma.
abstract: The sheep provides a suitable model for simulation of grade III human tibial trauma. Management in humans can easily be simulated in the sheep. But variability can be controlled, and the effect of particular methods of management can be compared more accurately than in the human situation, with more scientific assessment possible.
