It has been almost a year since Barney Dean joined us at VetFix. We have received fantastic feedback from host clinics and he has made such a positive impact on our team. Barney is an EBVS® European Specialist and RCVS-Recognised Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. He was born and raised in Bournemouth, and currently lives in Fordingbridge with his wife, daughter, and two cats. Attached are just a few of the recent cases Barney has helped with. Barney expands our service to now include soft tissue surgical cases and all orthopaedic procedures.

Spaniels and elbows! Always consider a CT scan for any protracted lameness with elbow pain especially Spaniel and French Bulldog breeds. Thanks so much to Leo's owner for the updates and of course Leo for being so patient with his recovery. So pleased to recieve the video yesterday! Leo came to our team with a fractured left elbow secondary to a humeral condylar fissure. This was repaired and a prophylactic transcondylar screw was also placed in the right elbow. Handsome boy! Thanks to the VetFix team and Lynwood Vets, Bournemouth.

We have recently invested in Fusion Implants LEAP and FLIP plating systems. The lateral epicondylar anatomic plate (LEAP) has already proved useful for Spaniel and French Bulldog condylar fractures. For our feline friends the FLIP plates will improve our expertise in cat pelvic fracture treatments. Attached are post-operative radiographs from Mac, a five-year old Cocker Spaniel with a lateral condylar fracture. The short LEAP plate was still useful despite being primarily designed for Springer Spaniels. We found it saved us time and was easy to apply!
