I have never heard of wire wrapped around a fracture, but if this is an orthopedic surgeon, I am sure it is ok.
As for wraps and splints...I have honestly never had any of my pups wrapped or splinted after ortho surgery where plates and screws are put it....but they were all hind legs. One of our other foster homes had a front leg in a wrap for a couple of weeks after surgery....that was on the lower part of the leg. Maybe that is the difference.
I would definitely go back to the vet if you have any questions. Good luck with her recovery...please continue to update us!
