Objectives:
To report rib fracture repair using the Securos Cranial Cruciate Ligament Repair System (SCCLRS; Securos Veterinary Orthopedics, Charlton, MA) in a neonatal foal.
Study Design:
Case report.
Animals:
A 1-day-old Standardbred foal with fracture of left ribs 2-9.
Methods:
Four days after admission the foal was anesthetized and rib fractures were repaired using open reduction and the SCCLRS.
Results:
Rib fractures were successfully stabilized and the foal was discharged 7 days postoperatively without further complications.
Conclusions:
The SCCLRS provided a straightforward, effective method of rib fracture repair in neonatal foals.
Clinical Relevance:
Effective rib fracture repair in neonatal foals can be achieved with the SCCLRS.
