Chu Chu, a male Aspin, was presented to 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 due to a fracture of the right hind limb. Upon physical examination and radiographic assessment, a complete, markedly displaced oblique tibial fracture with mild comminution and an associated fibular fracture was confirmed, requiring prompt orthopedic surgical management.
Following thorough evaluation and pre-operative preparation, Chu Chu successfully underwent 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐅), a surgical procedure used to accurately realign the fractured bone and stabilize it internally using orthopedic plates and screws. This technique helps restore proper limb alignment, promote bone healing, and improve the return of normal limb function.
At present, Chu Chu is doing well, with a good appetite, improved comfort, gradual weight-bearing, and a bright demeanor.
This case was managed in collaboration with 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜.
