About The Webinar
Locking plates have been available in small animal orthopaedics for the last 10 years. In recent years, several different systems have come to market and prices have reduced, making them increasingly attractive. Should you consider investing in a locking system, and when is the right time to use a locking plate and when is the wrong time?
