Welcome to our second episode in our JFMS Clinical Spotlight series, where each month we interview authors of recent JFMS articles chosen by our editors as the Clinical Spotlight article of the month.
For this month's episode, Nathalie Dowgray, Head of ISFM, is joined for a discussion by Alix Freeman, MRCVS on her recent article, Mandibular Fracture Repair Techniques in Cats: A Dentist's Perspective. Feline head trauma injuries are common in general practice, often resulting in mandibular fracture. Dr. Freeman walks through how she got interested in mandibular fractures, and how her team approaches problem-solving to determine the best repair technique that will improve the welfare of the cat. She also discusses some tips for general practitioners to use when they begin a diagnostic assessment of head traumas, tips for using radiographs to make a diagnosis, intubation techniques, the importance of having a comprehensive understanding of feline anatomy, and much more!
