The Sept. 4 lecture will be a presented in New Bolton Center’s Alumni Hall by Dean Richardson, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, the head of surgery at the New Bolton Center.

"Fracture repair in horses continues to advance," says Richardson. "Screws, plates, pins, and all kinds of implants have been used in horses for decades. The technology is constantly evolving as are the specific techniques for applying these devices. Today, the majority of fractures that used to be repaired with large incisions are repaired using sophisticated preoperative and intraoperative imaging and tiny incisions. We also have newer implants that provide much greater strength and stability for repair in our equine patients."
