  • Title: Splinting device for hindlimb fractures in horses.
    Author: Beroza GA, Gentile DG, Goodness P, Charles R.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1985 Jun 01; 186(11):1204-6. PubMed ID: 4008302.
    Abstract:
    A Robert Jones bandage modified to include a steel walking bar frame and, in one case, side-supporting bars, was applied as a splinting device in 4 horses with hindlimb fractures (3 tarsal and 1 middle phalangeal). The modification was used as an adjunct to previous casting therapies or as a means for handling casting failures or soft tissue problems encountered during the casting period. This means of stabilization is easily adapted to replace a problematic cast in various clinical settings, is easily applied in the standing patient, is easily changed and adjusted on a regular basis, has minimal complications, is comfortable, and can be used for support for a long period.
