Radiographically guided femoral neck osteosynthesis with cannulated compressive titanium screw and anti‐rotational component in a Brown Howler Monkey (Alouatta guariba clamitans)

A Brown Howler Monkey presented with a femoral neck fracture was successfully treated with a cannulated compressive screw and an anti‐rotational component inserted with radiographically guided technique. Complete bone consolidation and functional recovery were observed 9 weeks after the surgery, and...
