Summary: The guide highlights the anatomical and topographical features of fractures in small animals, current data on molecular mechanisms of bone, osteosynthesis techniques and pharmacological regulation of reparative osteogenesis. The main biological and synthetic composite materials are described and the efficiency of their application for replacement of bone defects and acceleration of bone fractures consolidation in animals is substantiated on the basis of clinical, radiological, histomorphological and biochemical studies. The manual is recommended for graduate students, researchers, students of advanced training and practicing veterinarians.
