This little delight is Amaira, she is a beautiful toy poodle who was referred to us at Anderson Abercromby after sustaining an injury to her right forelimb.

She was admitted for radiography which revealed a fracture of the distal metaphyses of the radius and ulna. This is referring to the forearm at the furthest section of bone away from the body (just above the wrist joint).

Federico and the team stabilised the fracture using a hybrid 2.4mm Securos cuttable T-plate. Initially after her surgery a modified Robert Jones bandage was applied for 24 hours to minimise swelling.

Amaira was discharged and followed a restricted exercise plan at home whilst the fracture was healing. She returned to Anderson Abercromby for her review appointment six weeks later which has shown radiographic healing. Amaira is no longer lame and is now starting to increase her exercise over the upcoming weeks.

Amaira is such a lovely, sweet girl and we are so glad we were able to help her recover from her injury 🧡

This little heartbreaker is Eddie 😍
He is a 5month old Border Terrier puppy who was referred to us at Anderson Abercromby after falling from a bench and injuring himself 🥺

On presentation Eddie had a mild right hindlimb lameness. He was admitted for radiography which showed an old fracture that was already starting to heal.
As Eddie is still growing it means that bone fractures heal at a much faster rate compared to fully grown animals.
The radiographs showed a good degree of bone remodelling and the fracture site wasn’t unstable.

Therefore conservative management was decided and Eddie had to follow a period of rest at home where he wasn’t allowed to run or play and had to be on the lead when out for a walk.

Three weeks after his first examination we saw lovely Eddie to review his progress.
Eddie is doing fantastically well - he is no longer lame, there is no instability present and he is not demonstrating any signs of discomfort.

Eddie is now allowed to start to increase his exercise until he can gradually return to normal off lead exercise.

Eddie it was so lovely to meet you, well done for being such a perfect patient 😍

🌟Behind the scenes we have much to celebrate for our INCREDIBLE colleagues at Anderson Abercromby.. 🌟

We are pleased to share that one of our amazing Veterinary Surgeons, Miranda (Miranda Aiken MA VetMB DSAS(Orth) MRCVS
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Specialist in Small Animal Orthopaedics) was one of the lecturers at the AO Principles of Small Animal Fracture Management course held in Leeds.

Miranda taught the delegates, all qualified veterinary surgeons, on the following subjects:
🦴Open fractures
🦴Bridging fixation
🦴Discussion groups
🦴Practical exercises

The AO course is considered vital in the training of any budding orthopaedic surgeon, and Miranda really enjoyed helping to train the next generation of surgeons.

Both Miranda and Mike (Mike Farrell BVetMed, CertVA, DipECVS(SA), MRCVS) were also invited speakers at the recent World Veterinary Orthopaedics Congress in Rome.

They delivered talks on a variety of subjects including:
🦴Elbow dysplasia
🦴Are surgeons born or made?
🦴Perioperative use of antimicrobials
🦴Groove deepening techniques in patella surgery

The World Veterinary Orthopaedic Congress is one of the most prestigious global events in veterinary orthopaedics and is held only every eight years in Europe. We are most proud that we had two of our surgeons representing us at this celebrated event.

Amazing stuff !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

On Wednesdays we wear pink 🎀

Hope the Labrador is ‘so fetch’ in her pink accessories!

We wanted to share Hope’s story with our followers.
Hope was under the care of the incredible Holbrook Animal Rescue when she first visited us at Anderson Abercromby and was diagnosed with bilateral cruciate disease (affecting both of her knees).

Holbrook Animal Rescue were in the process of finding Hope her forever home.
A family reached out to Holbrook and had fallen in love with Hope and it was explained that she would need surgery followed by a lengthy recovery period.
But despite this making introductions a little different compared to usual, Hope’s new family welcomed her wholeheartedly and she settled in to her new home one week prior to coming to AA for her double TPLO surgery.
Hope’s new family have been taking great care of her since her surgery, and it is so commendable to not just take on a new addition to the family but also managing the surgery aftercare at the same time.

Such a lovely, heart warming story of a new chance for Hope. We wish the lovely, pink princess Hope and her new family all the best going forward.
With huge thanks again to holbrookanimalrescue🩷

This very brave lady is Gigi ! She was referred to us at Anderson Abercromby Referrals after it being discovered that she was shot with a suspected air r***e pellet which resulted in a fracture to her left forearm.

Poor Gigi had returned home not herself and the pellet was discovered radiographically which also unveiled a left humeral fracture, fortunately there were no other injuries.

Fred and the team stabilised the fracture using a intramedullary pin and a 2.0mm locking compression plate with screws.

Nine weeks post surgery Gigi is doing well, she is able to jump onto the windowsill at home and there is no longer any discomfort in her forelimb.

This is great news for Gigi, she is a lovely, gentle girl and we are so glad we could have been part of her recovery.

(Note that the air r***e finding has been reported to the RSPCA)

We wanted to share this incredible patient journey with our followers.
Meet Ella 👋 Ella is 11years old, when she was younger she was involved in an accident with a lorry which resulted in a fracture of her left hip and an amputation of her right hindlimb. This accident happened abroad and since then Ella was rehomed to her forever home with her current owner.

Ella has been an amputee since the accident but gets around well on three legs, she is an active dog who enjoys her exercise, until recently when she has started to struggle on her left hind and showing tendencies to sit down wherever possible.

Examinations and radiography diagnosed a ruptured cruciate ligament and Ella was referred to us for TPLO (tibial plateau levelling osteotomy) surgery.

Due to Ella being an amputee the post-operative care period required extra support. Ella stayed with us at AAVR for a few days post surgery and our team helped her find her first steps through mobility support, good pain relief and a lot of TLC.

Ella has since returned home and came back to visit us for a scheduled review appointment and look how well she is doing!
Her mobility is much improved since having the surgery and she is demonstrating a normal pain-free range of motion.

We are thrilled with how well Ella is doing - what a remarkable patient 👏🏼👏🏼

Meet little Eira - a gorgeous 4month old Cavapoo puppy who was referred to us after sustaining an injury to her right radius and ulna (forearm).

Eira was treated by her salt and pepper double, Mike 😉 who managed the fracture with a short term external fixator.

As puppies are still growing they heal much quicker from a fracture repair and the fixator was removed just 10 days later! 😮

See the radiographs taken before and then ten days later, and a cute photo of the salt and pepper pair together 🥰
