Rib Fractures in Foals and Adults

In this video, the speaker discusses the diagnosis and management of fractured ribs in equine neonates, citing a mentor who first drew attention to a large deficit in this area. A specific population of foals that received conservative management for these fractures experienced a high mortality rate of about 80%. The speaker notes that these fractures are a very common occurrence on large breeding farms, often happening during normal parturition.
