Abstract
Extract
On 20th January, 1952, a two-year-old thorough-bred filly suffering from a compound fracture of the mandible, was presented for prognosis. At first sight the prognosis appeared most unfavourable. The body of the mandible was down at an angle of 30 degrees, the soft tissues were ruptured across the whole upper surface and the fractured ends of bone were exposed in an irregular manner. I asked the owner if he would like a consultation, to which he agreed, saying that no expense was to be spared if the filly could be saved.
