Information obtained from the medical records and preoperative radiographs included: breed, gender, age, body weight, affected limb, previous fractures of the same limb segment, time from injury to surgery, traumatic stress intensity, and fracture configuration. Patients were included in the study only if radiographic and clinical outcome could be determined until the time of CESF frame removal.

The smallest diameter ring that could be placed around the dog’s antebrachium, while still leaving at least 1 cm of space between the skin and the inner margin of the ring was chosen. Frames were constructed using components from one of two CESF component systems (Circular External Skeletal Fixation system: IMEX Veterinary Products, Inc., Longview, TX, USA; Small Bone Fixator: Hoffmann S.a.S, Monza, Italy).
