Abstract
Trauma to the musculoskeletal system also can include direct or indirect trauma to joint articular surfaces in dogs. Early diagnosis and treatment are paramount in restoring early joint function. Various orthopedic surgical techniques for restoring joint function following trauma are presented. In all cases, with the exception of total joint replacement, osteoarthritis still will be a sequela to the original trauma, even following perfect anatomic reduction and alignment of articular surfaces. Nevertheless, a favorable prognosis for the return of acceptable function occurs most commonly following orthopedic intervention.
