Fractures can occur from direct trauma, ie road traffic accidents, fights with other dogs, or sporting injuries.
When a fracture occurs, one of the main objectives is to stabilise the bone and any fragments to allow healing, reduce pain, and limit movement so they cannot cause further damage to surrounding muscle, nerves and blood vessels. There are several different methods for stabilising fractures.

The cranial cruciate ligament is an important structure of the knee joint. It attaches the femur to the tibia, preventing instability of the knee, when this ligament becomes ruptured or torn the femur slides or rubs on the tibia resulting in pain and inflammation causing the dog to be lame and painful.
