Fracturoscopy is comparable to fluoroscopy for intraoperative assessment of fracture apposition during indirect reduction of simulated diaphyseal antebrachial fractures in dog cadavers

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fracturoscopy compared to fluoroscopy for intraoperative assessment of fracture alignment in dogs.
• Conducted intraoperative assessments on simulated diaphyseal fractures in dog cadavers.
• Utilized both fracturoscopy and fluoroscopy for alignment measurement.
• Compared the efficacy of both techniques for different fracture complexities.
• Fracturoscopy demonstrated comparable effectiveness to fluoroscopy for simple fractures.
• Less suitable for assessing complex comminuted fractures was noted for fracturoscopy.
