Abstract

Key Clinical Message: This case report demonstrates the use of a 10‐hole 2.7‐mm locking compression plate (LCP) to repair a depressed, comminuted fracture of the zygomatic process of the frontal bone, in a foal. LCP fixation resulted in excellent cosmesis. The use of LCP fixation in this region has not been previously described.
