Another week done, helping our regularly scheduled cases and squeezing in emergency fracture repairs. This week we fixed a spiral/butterfly femur fracture using plate-rod technique in a golden retriever, and fixed a classic lateral condylar fracture with a 2.7mm cortical screw + washer in a young Frenchie.

🐶🔨Arthrodesis Saturday 🔨🐶
This dog sustained a tarsometatarsal joint luxation. Being a big dog at over 125 lbs, we placed a 3.5 / 2.7 mm PCA locking compression plate through two separate incisions and plate tunneling in order to minimize disruption to the soft tissue. With a period of rest, he should make a full recovery.

🐶 Big thank you to our summer intern, UMN veterinary student, Jennica Quast! 🦴🔨🪛

Jennica is starting her second year of veterinary school at the University of Minnesota. Many of our partner clinics got to meet and work with Jennica this year. Jennica was a huge help assisting in surgery, helping set up surgical equipment, and caring for our surgery patients this summer while visiting clinics all over the Twin Cities metro and Southern Minnesota.

Jennica is from Lakeville, and grew up raising black Labrador Retrievers with her family. Her two dogs, Remi and Mia, compete in field trial competitions.

Best of luck with your studies this upcoming year, and thank you again for all of your hard work! ⭐️

Happy Saturday! Another puppy femur fracture to help fix up, with the mixed animal team at Anderson Veterinary. It is fun to share stories comparing our similar life “on the road” performing canine orthopedics vs. their life on the road as cow vets

Good help is easy to find

A good recovery is what we care about!

📱 Being available is important to us, that is why we make sure owners can contact us 24/7 with questions or concerns following surgery with us. While not every issue can be addressed virtually, being able to reach our team to discuss recovery and rehab helps alleviate minor concerns, clarify instructions or redirect major concerns for in person DVM recheck exams. 💫

Happy retirement, Dr. Berndt!

We thought we would make it official and post it on here... Dr. Berndt has officially retired. We had a great time celebrating her and all her hard working years one last time!

We want to wish a happy holiday season to all friends of HIGHLINE Veterinary Orthopedics. 🎄

As 2023 comes to a close, we want to thank all our veterinary partners and pet families for your continued trust in our surgical care. 🐶

This year, we were able to help over 675 pets with advanced surgical care, including 331 TPLO procedures, 46 fracture repairs and a diverse variety of other procedures. We logged over 35,000 miles in our truck providing mobile specialty veterinary surgery to pet owners of Minnesota and Iowa.

We look forward to continued growth, friendship and provision of accessible specialty care in 2024!
