Impact of postoperative radiography on the management of humeral condylar fractures in immature dogs
Follow-up radiographs did not influence the postoperative management plan in cases where clients reported no concerns, the dogs did not require prolonged analgesic treatment, showed no lameness on examination, and had unremarkable clinical findings CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: In the absence of client concerns, prolonged use of analgesic drugs, lameness on examination, and clinical abnormalities, the necessity of follow-up radiographs in immature dogs that underwent humeral condylar fracture repair is debatable.
