Fracture Repair


Fracture repair in small animals can range from plate, to pins or external fixators. At NOAH we have all the different types of plates ( inc locking), and the power drills (Synthes) to insert them. Exernal fixators including ring or Ilizarov fixators are frequently used for repair of fractures of the long bones of the extremities. Locking pins can also be a useful implant in some fractures. Because we are a referral centre we would see many cases of complications following fracture repair at other clinics. Most of these complications can be rectified such as nonunion, malunion or osteomyeltis.
