Can a horse recover from a broken leg?
One of the biggest fears of horse owners is horse leg fracture. Because it seems to be impossible for a horse to recover from a broken leg. Luckily development of veterinary medicine has ensured opportunities to ensure it. However, a horse probably won’t return on its previous activity and health level. Moreover, not all cases can be solved. Recovery from a broken leg depends on factors as horse age, a specific place where is the fracture and how serious, is it.
Practice shows fracture treatments as:
- Restoring initial position of a broken leg;
- Casts;
- Implant and screw insertion;
- Stem Cell Therapy can help and speed up the bone healing process.
