Nature can heal itself if you don’t disturb it nor inflict it. Rather protect it and allow it to morph back as faster as it should be. Bones do it the same way as if you preseve it’s sorrounding soft tissue and it’s neurovasculatures.

Preserving means helping for faster healing and return to function. Disrupting delays everything.

4-yro, IM, ShihTzu, presented with NWB lameness in bilateral pelvic limbs due to RTA. Right SI luxation, left ilial fracture/luxation and Ischial fracture. Sx: Open reduction and fixation with 2.0mm 6 hole recon/low contact plate and screws for the left ilial fracture. Lag screw by design fixation with 2.4mm cortical screw and washer for left SI luxation.

Good news!

Day 1 post op. Sancho starts weight bearing. More seroma collected today as well. With pain medications, it helps control further inflammation - swelling and pain. This also help reduce anxiety and allow him to rest comfortably.

Post op.

We thought we can still reduce and stabilize the fracture, but as we approach to the bone it was burried deep as it was displaced and malaligned towards the pelvic cavity.

The bone (ilium) has healed into malunion and already calcified that reduction is no longer possible.

Plan and steps have changed, but the goal remains the same - ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴍᴏᴠᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴏɴᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴄᴀᴜꜱɪɴɢ ꜱᴏ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ᴘᴀɪɴ, ɴᴀʀʀᴏᴡɪɴɢ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʀᴇꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴛʀᴀɪɴᴛꜱ.

A partial ilial resection which include the acetabulum, ilial body and part of the ischium was performed.

A flat drain was placed to help reduce swelling and seroma post operatively.

Hoping for the best for this patient. Wishing him fast and smooth recovery.

Notes: xray display it’s limit as imaging modality for cases involving bones like pelvis. Careful planning is key. Go with the stepwise plan, but always be ready as things change so, it must be carried out with second option.

4-yro, neutered, mixed breed, with history of limping in left rear leg first noticed almost a month ago due to possible blunt trauma secondary to a fall or due to the dog’s normal hyper activity.

Question is why he still weight bearing with just minimal limping with the left pelvic leg despite the injury?

Let us check why? Physical exam. Physical exam. Physical exam. Orthopedic exam. Radiodiograps. Careful planning. Stepwise approach, reduction and fixation. So help me God!

With that saying, we will continue our assessment today and we’ll pull a list of differentials, some careful pre operative planning, medical management (pain meds) and surgical stabilization of the iliac fracture and possible ischial fracture as well. Our goal is to re-align the medially displaced ilial wing that is causing narrowing and compromising the pelvic canal. Surgical reduction is expected to be difficult and challenging due to delay. Soft callus maybe present already and will add the complexity in the reduction.

What made me like the most with this system is the feature which allows me to angle or tilt the screw to up to 15° so, less worry for possible entering the joint.

On the left, the screw is placed distally angled and with screw placed normally straight on the right photo.

What is your thought on this?

Dog’s Cranial Cruciate Ligament is similar structure as in human ACL. What they have in common is their main function to protect the stifle or knee, prevent hyper extension and rotation relative to the long axis. Another thing is that Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament can be damaged or torn even without physical trauma unlike in sports related-injury in human.

This was a senior dog presented with a big mass in right groin region.

Excision this size including skin margin normally leaves big skin defect which requires pedicle flap or rotational skin flap to cover the area.

We are happy to share and we are much happy with the outcome.

Close, simple, diaphyseal fracture of radius and ulna.

Amazingly, the ulna heals as fast as the radius by callus.

Young bones are healing machines provided clinical and mechanical factors are good enough as well to support faster healing.

Key is rigid fixation/stabilization and good technique with reliable fixators. I ❤️ Arix Vet!!
