Traumatology in small animals is a mainly graphic work whose objective is to show the reader a wide variety of fractures with their particularities in the canine and feline species, as well as the procedures followed in each case for their treatment.

The work has been structured in three clearly different parts. The first, in which the reader will find the basic foundations necessary to understand bythat each fracture is resolved and stabilized in a concrete way; a second part, which describes the possible fractures in each bone, its treatment and the different fixation systems it supports; and a third part, in which clinical cases of rare fractures are shown that completes this catalog of fractures, as the author himself has called it. Undoubtedly, it is an eminently graphic work with very useful recommendations regarding the possible treatments of fractures and that, therefore, will be of great help in your daily practice.
