Roxie presented for evaluation after being struck by a vehicle. Our cone beam CT revealed a mandibular fracture. Due to the location of the fracture and Roxie's size, an open reduction and internal fixation with a titanium plate and screws would offer the best chance for proper healing and return to normal function. The plate was placed along the ventral aspect of the caudal mandibular ramus. The mandibular drift was corrected, and normal occlusion was restored. Thank you, Bells Animal Clinic, for the referral of this sweetheart. ๐พ
