  • Title: Lag screw stabilization of a cervical vertebral fracture by use of computed tomography in a horse.
    Author: Barnes HG, Tucker RL, Grant BD, Roberts GD, Prades M.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1995 Jan 15; 206(2):221-3. PubMed ID: 7751226.
    Abstract:
    A traumatic fracture of C2 was diagnosed radiographically in a 1-year-old German Warm-blood stallion. Fracture configuration was difficult to see on survey radiographs. Computed tomography yielded a more accurate assessment of the fracture and facilitated fracture repair with cortical lag screws. Precise screw placement, to avoid spinal cord damage, was obtained by use of computed tomography. Follow-up radiography revealed normal bone healing, and the horse was in dressage schooling 24 months after surgery.
