Some fractures are not simple and have significant other issues. This case had huge skin deficits that had scraped along the road and was a huge risk for infection.
This is how i repair cases like that.
Stabilise the fracture and then manage the skin deficit, allow clean granulation tissue to grow then close aft that.
Once the skin healed and the bone heals then remove the implants.
One technique can't fix everything so you need lot of options!

This little fella had a fungus on his head that growing and eating away the tissue. He came to me after three surgeries and we decided to be very aggressive and creative to remove it.
There was no point in going half way.
Now i have not shown the blood and brains but you can see what we did. Its called an axial pattern skin flap.
You can also see how quickly he recovered, eating an hour after surgery. legend!!
now all he has to remember the surgery is a cool Mow Hawk haircut.

Spinal surgery and neurological disease is terrifying to people. My poor buddy, my friend how can he recover.

There are roughly five specialists in three hospitals in this country who are qualified and trained to do these surgeries and evaluations. We are one.
We have had a lot of cases over the last month as well as revision surgeries from people attempting surgeries so i thought i would post this.
It's not a case just doing some surgeries or having some knowledge, we can assess all cases and provide specialist knowledge on each case.
Remember these are emergencies and we are available 24 hours if necessary.
Here are some images of happy cases before and after surgery to give you some optimism if your friend is ever in need.

I promise to improve my video skills and editing for the next cases but for now enjoy some happy dogs with happy owners.
