Abstract
Equine limb fractures require emergency veterinary attention. First aid treatment of most equine fractures consists of sedation, analgesia, and external coaptation. More severe or open fractures may require administration of antimicrobial medications, tetanus prophylaxis, and/or fluid therapy before transportation to a referral facility. Prompt patient stabilization and proper immobilization of the fractured limb decrease the risks of further injury to the limb and increase the chances of a successful fracture repair. Knowledge of proper splinting techniques is essential; improper management of a fractured limb can result in more damage occurring at the fracture site and a grave prognosis.
