### Statistical Analysis
The analysis of fractures in French Bulldogs revealed a prevalence rate of 1.46% (n = 15) in females and 1.62% (n = 20) in males. The occurrence of fractures in Russian Toy Terriers was 2.14% (n = 22) in females and 3.32% (n = 41) in males. In contrast, fractures in Siberian Huskies were only documented in females, with a value of 1.07% (n = 11). Fractures were observed only in the males of certain breeds, such as the Miniature Pinscher (1.05%, n = 13), Pekingese (1.22%, n = 15), Smooth-haired Dachsund (1.22%, n = 15), and Cane Corso (1.05%, n = 13). Fracturing was seen in 7.89% (n = 81) of female Toy Terriers and 5.67% (n = 70) of male Toy Terriers. In contrast, German Shepherds had fracture rates of 7.79% (n = 80) for females and 8.83% (n = 109) for males. The data are shown in Figure 6, facilitating a visual comparison of fracture incidence across various age groups and genders. Within the smallest age group, namely, puppies under 1 year old, there is a comparable occurrence of fractures between males and females. Females have a prevalence of 48.49% (n = 498), and males have a distribution of 47.73% (n = 589). The observed high proportion is likely attributable to the heightened levels of activity and susceptibility to injuries

The frequency rates for young adult canines--namely, those aged 1 to 1.5 years--are 12.07% (n = 124) for females and 14.10% (n = 174) for males. The group of mature adults aged 2 to 6.5 years has a similar distribution across genders, with females accounting for 26.58% (n = 273) and males representing 26.18% (n = 323). This pattern may be attributed to the prolonged engagement in physical activity and the associated risk of injuries during this particular phase of life. A reduction in the occurrence of fractures is seen in older canines--namely, those aged 7 to 9.5 years--with an occurrence of 6.72% (n = 69) for females and 6.81% (n = 84) for males. This lower fracture incidence may be related to a decrease in physical activity levels or more careful movements as dogs progress in age. The aforementioned pattern persists across individuals in the late senior and geriatric age cohorts, wherein the smallest proportions are recorded in canines aged 12 years and above, specifically 2.43% (n = 25) for females and 2.35% (n = 29) for males. This phenomenon may suggest a decrease in mobility that is mostly seen in individuals in this age group, which may contribute to a decreased likelihood of circumstances that could potentially result in fractures. Figure 7 illustrates the many forms of fractures seen in canines of both female and male genders. Both genders exhibit high proportions of simple and comminuted fractures. Simple fractures account for 45.67% (n = 469) of female cases and 46.52% (n = 574) of male cases. On the other hand, comminuted fractures constitute 41.48% (n = 426) of female cases and 42.71% (n = 527) of male cases. While less frequent, multiple fractures still account for a significant proportion, with 10.13% (n = 104) in females and 8.10% (n = 100) in males. Less frequent forms of fractures include oblique, transverse, avulsion, open, and spiral fractures, all of which have less than a 2% occurrence, suggesting their relative infrequency among the population under investigation. The observed distributions indicating the specific types of injuries experienced by different genders might be driven by variations in bone density and behavior between male and female dogs.
