This study investigates a new ovine fracture model for the proximal phalanx, highlighting animal welfare and bone healing outcomes.

The study highlights a novel ovine model aimed at enhancing animal welfare while examining bone healing.
Bone healing was assessed through standardized radiographic scoring and CT methods, showing differences between treatment groups.
The ostectomy demonstrated implant failure and limited healing, whereas the osteotomy group displayed better stability and healing.
Monitoring pain and welfare through clinical evaluations suggests the importance of including quantitative welfare parameters in research.

Nikolaisen et al. (2025) studied this question.
