Ventral fixation of cervical vertebral fractures in two red kangaroos using screws and polymethylmethacrylate

Summary

Fractures of the cervical vertebrae in two tetraparetic juvenile red kangaroos were stabilized using a modified ventral screws and polymethylmethacrylate technique. One kangaroo developed terminal ventilatory complications during anaesthesia. The second recovered normal mobility.
