Fracture management can be an exciting and rewarding veterinary discipline. However, because unrelated tissues are frequently damaged and may be of greater clinical concern, the entire patient must be suitably assessed and preoccupation with an obvious fracture, at the expense of other injuries, must be avoided. This chapter reviews thoracic and abdominal examinations; orthopaedic examination; neurological examination; imaging the fracture region; fracture patient assessment score; forming a treatment plan.
