text: yesterday barbaro was seriously injured with a right hind ankle fracture.? does anyone know what veterinarian did the surgery, and how it went?  where can i write the owners to tell them how sorry i am that that magnificent stallian was injured? the surgeons repositioned all the fragments of bone back into the position they should have been in and then stabilized the bones with a plate and 27 screws. so far he seems to be doing alright but there's still a 50/50 chance, with them hoping he doesn't develop infections or rebreak the bones.
