The location dictates the treatment plan and prognosis. Fracture of the lower part of the splint can be difficult to treat without surgery. Often the fragment moves so much that a normal stabilizing callus cannot form properly, so the fracture might not heal. If such a callus does not form after a few weeks or if the suspensory ligament branch (which inserts into the sesamoid bones at the bottom end of the cannon to hold them in place) is involved, your veterinarian might suggest removing the lower part of the splint bone surgically. Once removed, most cases have few problems going forward. Higher fractures of the splint bone, toward the knee, are more complicated. Surgeons prefer not to remove the bone closer to the carpus joint due to resulting joint instability. In some cases, they might elect to place a stabilizing plate and screws in the limb rather than remove the bone entirely. Fractures occurring in the middle of the splint bone are usually uncomplicated and resolve with several weeks of rest to allow the fracture to heal.
