Internal fixation of a fractured cranial articular process of the sixth cervical vertebra by means of computer‐assisted surgery in a Warmblood gelding
Computer-assisted surgery facilitates lag screw fixation of AP fractures and makes this a potential alternative to intervertebral body fusion, which is recommended for this type of fracture to avoid excessive callus formation and subsequent spinal cord or cervical spinal nerve compression.
