External Skeletal Fixation:
A technique where a stabilizing frame is placed outside the body to help support fractures, promoting proper healing without the need for internal implants.
Application of SOP Plates:
Specialized orthopedic plates (Standard Operating Procedure plates) are used to stabilize and align fractured bones, ensuring proper healing and reducing the risk of complications.
Complicated Healing: Malunion, Nonunion, and Corrective Osteotomies:
For fractures that heal incorrectly (malunion) or fail to heal at all (nonunion), corrective surgery (osteotomies) may be needed to properly realign and stimulate healing.
Angular Deformities:
Treatment for limbs that have healed at abnormal angles, often through surgical intervention to correct alignment and restore function.
Intramedullary Interlocking Nails:
A surgical method where a metal rod is inserted into the bone marrow to stabilize fractures and enhance healing, especially for long bone fractures.
Elbow and Hip Dysplasia:
Surgical treatment for abnormal joint development, typically in young animals, which helps alleviate pain and restore function to the affected joints.
Cruciate Ligament Surgery:
A procedure to repair torn cruciate ligaments in the knee, often using advanced techniques like the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) or Extracapsular Stabilization.
Extracapsular Stabilization:
A method for stabilizing the knee joint after a cruciate ligament injury by using strong sutures to replace the damaged ligament and restore joint stability.
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO):
A specialized surgery that alters the angle of the tibial plateau to prevent knee instability due to a torn cruciate ligament, commonly performed in active or large breed dogs.
Luxations, Sprains, and Shear Injuries:
Treatment for joint dislocations (luxations), soft tissue injuries (sprains), and shear injuries, which can cause pain, instability, and mobility issues in pets.
