Abstract
The use of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for the treatment of delayed or non-union of long bone fractures has been described in human patients with encouraging results. This case report describes the successful treatment of a mandibular fracture non-union with ESWT. To authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the clinical use of ESWT for the management of a non-union in a dog.
Author Contribution
Clinical care of the patient was undertaken by Richard Whitelock and Olivia Oginska. Shockwave therapy was performed by Matthew Allen, Amy Stelman and Kirsten Hausler. The manuscript was written by Olivia Oginska and Matthew Allen. All of the authors reviewed and approved the final manuscript.
