When a dog or cat breaks a bone, veterinarians often mend the fracture with a combination of stabilization devices called intra-medullary (IM) pins and external skeletal fixators (ESFs), a technique that is employed daily across the U.S. Research conducted at the University of Georgia under the direction of Dennis Aron, DVM, using ALGOR finite element analysis software, is helping to establish better guidelines for how these stabilization devices can best be used to promote healing of animal fractures.
