Internal fixation involves the use of metal plates, screws, rods, or pins to stabilize broken bones or joints. These implants are inserted internally, directly into the bone, to hold the broken fragments in place while they heal. The internal fixation devices provide stability and support during the healing process, allowing for proper alignment and function of the bone or joint.
yes!
It depends on the bone that is broken, how it is broken and how old the horse is. Tail bones (coccyx and caudal vertebrae) will generally be left to heal on their own without the need to set or cast the injury; leg bones will generally not heal even if a cast is placed over the break. Also, a smooth break tends to heal worse than a jagged break, because all the cracks and crevices in a jagged break help hold the pieces together. Finally, a young horse (colt, filly, yearling) will typically heal from broken bones better than a mature horse (mare, stallion, gelding) due to the increased weight placed on the skeleton.
Not exactly normally, but it will heal...
Cartilage. If broken it will not heal by itself.
A compound fracture is when a bone is broken in more than one place. Depending on how bad the fracture or the bone that is broken rods or pins are inserted to help the bone heal straight and plates and screws may also be used for this as well.
yes, it helps to heal the broken bone

It does not. It supports a damaged structure until the bone heals.
A brace or support to a broken bone would be a cast. When a person experiences a clean break in a bone, a doctor will apply a cast to the broken bone area. The cast allows to bone to heal properly.
yes!
It doesn't. Completely ruins your life.
It is true that the fibrocartilage callus is the first repair mass to splint the broken bone. The bone will attempt to heal itself.
you could do some light exercise like moving your legs gently and trying to stand up.
Procedures will likely vary depending upon the location and the extent of damage but tends to use metal pins, screws, plates or rods to hold everything in place so the bone can heal.
For most broken bones, a visit to the hospital, a re-setting of the bone, casting, and pain medication will heal the bone over time. In extreme cases, some bones require surgery.
