Figure 2. Refracture in the principal metatarsal bone of a horse that underwent osteosynthesis due to a spiral fracture of the medial condyle. Note that the plate bent at the interface between the part of the combined hole filled with a locking screw and its empty part (A). Fracture propagation occurred from the hole of one of the screws (B).

Figure 2. Preoperative cervical CT scan performed in extension, showing complete realignment. a) Sagittal plane. b) Coronal plane.

Figure 3. Postoperative cervical CT scan. a) Sagittal plane shoes good odontoid realignment. b) C1 axial view. c) C2 axial view, notice the tip of the right pedicle screw slightly invading the transverse foramen.

Figure 4. Cervical CT scan performed 2 hours after the trauma. a) On sagittal plane is visible the aligned Anderson type II fracture. b) On coronal plane, is too early to visualize the sclerotic remodelling of the right C1-C2 articulation.
