No actionable change for human audiology practice; this is a veterinary retrospective study on jaw fractures in rabbits with no direct relevance to hearing care.
This study provides the largest published series on traumatic jaw fractures in domestic rabbits, offering practical guidance for exotic animal veterinary practice and comparative craniofacial trauma research.
- 01Retrospective review covered 21 domestic rabbit jaw fracture cases between 2014 and 2025.
- 02CT imaging was used to characterize fracture type and guide treatment planning.
- 03Both clinical presentation details and treatment outcomes are reported, filling a gap in exotic animal literature.
- 04Published in American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2026.
- 05No direct relevance to human audiology or hearing science.
CT findings were integral to characterizing traumatic jaw fractures and planning treatment in domestic rabbits.
