Fractures occur commonly in both dogs and cats and, therefore, are frequently seen in general practice. This series of articles has been presented in 3 parts, with:

Part 1 describing fracture biomechanics, classification, and diagnosis

Part 2 discussing selection of fixation technique, external coaptation, identification of bone healing, and potential complications.

This last article in the series addresses the options for internal fixation, including (Table 1):

Intramedullary (IM) pins and cerclage wire

Interlocking nails (ILNs)

External skeletal fixators (ESFs)

Bone plates and screws.
