The case report by Elce and Goodrich in the current issue highlights 3 aspects of fracture management related to the soft tissues. The soft tissues are not always easily and completely assessed at initial fracture evaluation, and can be a source of ongoing pain, dysfunction and treatment failure even following successful fracture healing, and will be a vital component of the structural stability of some fracture repairs. This commentary explores these 3 aspects of fracture management in the horse.
