Abstract

Summary

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) may be an effective treatment modality for delayed or chronic non-union fractures. ESWT is a non-invasive technique that avoids the potential morbidity and mortality associated with traditional surgical procedures, and its use does not preclude subsequent surgical treatment. This case series demonstrates the feasibility, versatility and safety of treating dogs with ESWT.
