Overvet Loves your Pet

Overvet Loves your Pet Overmed ama il Pet e per questo ha sviluppato PEDRO System, il dispositivo chirurgico per la fissazione spinale in veterinaria.

12/02/2025

Today, we are excited to share a new success story!

Dr. Falzone performed surgery on Tiago, a Border Collie, who was suffering from vertebral luxation at the T13-L1 level secondary to discospondylitis.

For the procedure, the Pedro System, an advanced spinal distraction and stabilization system, was used to ensure the best possible recovery for the patient.

The Pedro System is an innovative surgical device for spinal fixation, specifically designed for veterinary use. This system, composed of polyaxial screws, rods, and cages, offers a wide range of sizes (from 2mm to 4.5mm), making it a comprehensive solution for spinal stabilization. Thanks to its flexibility and ease of use, it represents an excellent alternative to the use of pins and PMMA. Additionally, the nuvaBONE nano-structured biomimetic hydroxyapatite biomaterial enhances the procedure in cases of bone deficiency, promoting better healing.

The choice of which spinal system to develop first fell on the larger one. Subsequently, we worked on the smaller one, allowing us to have the two extreme cases for mechanical stress testing.

After a few weeks of work in the workshop, the components were finally ready. Eager to verify the accuracy of the measurements derived from our initial studies, the first thing we did was assemble our newly created "Pedro System" onto a canine spinal section made of plastic material. At first glance, everything seemed to function as expected: the length and diameter of the screws, the interaction between the various mechanical components—every detail appeared perfect.

At that point, all that remained was to produce the smaller spinal system, which, due to its reduced size, was logically more prone to potential mechanical issues. Its development was relatively quick, and within a few weeks, we were ready to take the components to the laboratory for mechanical stress testing.

The tests conducted later at the Politecnico di Milano would provide the definitive answer: had months of work been well spent?

➡Pedro System: How was it created?

Pedro System: The Initial Pre-Project Evaluations

As mentioned in previous posts, the development of our Pedro System stems from the experience gained over the years with devices dedicated to human spinal surgery.

The idea was to leverage the design features of these devices, reducing their size to be compatible with the canine skeletal structure.

To achieve this, we had to first evaluate the vertebral bone dimensions across different dog breeds, as they vary significantly in both size and weight.

This led us to the development of a product with various sizes that would be compatible with the majority of potential patients.

After gathering the necessary information, we began assessing how many sizes would be needed to cover the entire range of spinal bone structures that surgeons could encounter during operations.

This resulted in the creation of three different spinal system sizes: one for small dogs (7 kg), one for medium-sized dogs (38 kg), and one for large dogs (70 kg).

Case Study: A Journey to Recovery for Nina, Our Resilient Pointer

Today, I’d like to share the story of Nina, a 1.5-year-old female pointer who faced a challenging neurological condition affecting her quality of life. Adopted from a breeder, Nina had recurring episodes of sudden pain, limb stiffness, yelping, and difficulty standing after rest. Her neurological examination revealed moderate ataxia in all four limbs and significant cervical rigidity, especially during neck movement.

➡️ Diagnosis and Surgical Intervention
Imaging tests, including X-rays, MRI, and a CT scan, confirmed agenesis of the dens of the axis, leading to atlanto-axial instability – a painful condition causing her distress. After careful assessment, Nina was selected for atlanto-axial stabilization surgery. Dr. Raffaele Gilardini skillfully performed the procedure, placing titanium screws and OVERMED implants to secure vertebral stability and grafting spongy bone from her humerus.

➡️ Recovery and Follow-Up
Just 24 hours post-surgery, Nina was discharged, walking independently, and showing notable improvement in cervical pain control. Ten days later, she’s progressing well, with no further cervical pain and newfound ease in getting up. While mild cervical stiffness remains, her resilience shines as she continues on her journey to full recovery.

A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Gilardini for his expert care and dedication. Nina’s story is a testament to the transformative power of modern veterinary medicine.
