Drovers Vet Hospital

Dr Tammy and Dr Aimee doing some amazing work to repair a very delicate surgical fracture repair on a puppy this week. A lot of planning went into this to get the plate perfectly aligned between the top and bottom growth plates of the bone so as to not affect growth. The fracture also proved rather difficult as they had to avoid displacing the fragment but still ensuring it was held in place. The plate is a special locking plate that uses screws that lock into the plate (there is a thread on the screw head and in the hole of the plate). This allows very sturdy post-operative stability to allow the best bone healing.
