title: [Fractures and luxations in small mammals].
abstract: Most traumata in small mammals occur at home. Diagnosis and therapy can be compared with that in the dog and cat, but species-specific differences have to be considered. For fracture treatment a butterfly-cast can be sufficient for stabilization in special cases. In most cases satisfying results can be obtained with a "tie-in-fixator" treatment. Dislocations of the elbow joint are treated by reduction or stabilization through suture techniques or temporary arthrodesis.
