Advanced Orthopedic Trauma Surgery at Bridgeway Veterinary Specialists.
At Bridgeway Veterinary Specialists, we are proud to offer advanced fracture management techniques, including circular external skeletal fixation, a highly adaptable and minimally invasive method for treating complex fractures in feline and canine patients of all sizes.
Tuffy, a young cat, presented with a comminuted and displaced right tibial diaphyseal fracture. Following thorough clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging, a closed reduction was performed and the fracture was stabilized using a circular external fixator system. This approach allows precise realignment while preserving soft tissue integrity and maintaining an optimal biological environment for healing.
Intraoperative imaging confirmed appropriate alignment, and postoperative radiographs demonstrated a stable construct with satisfactory reduction.
Circular fixation is a specialized orthopedic technique requiring advanced training and experience. Dr. Bhandal has considerable experience with this system, which he applies efficiently and precisely in complex fracture cases.
With appropriate postoperative care, the prognosis for fracture healing in cases such as this is good, with most patients progressing to successful union.
At Bridgeway Veterinary Specialists, we are committed to delivering advanced surgical care that restores mobility, function, and quality of life for our patients.
