W. Michael Karlin, DVM, DACVS-SA, DACVS-LA (North Grafton, MA), introduces the principles of absolute and relative stability. He defines how strain relates to the stages of bone healing, discusses the effects of each stability type on bone healing, and identifies fracture configurations best suited for fixation using either absolute or relative stability.
