Fractures and traumatic injuries can range from straightforward breaks to complex injuries involving joints, multiple bones, or surrounding soft tissues. At Edinger Surgical Options, our board-certified surgeons provide advanced orthopedic care tailored to each patient and each unique injury.
Our surgeons carefully evaluate the location, severity, and complexity of the injury to develop an individualized surgical plan. Depending on the fracture and your pet's needs, repairs may use plates and screws, pins, external fixation, or other advanced techniques. Each is chosen to restore stability, alignment, and function.
Advanced Intraoperative Imaging
For complex fracture repairs, our surgical team may utilize C-arm fluoroscopy, a specialized mobile X-ray system that provides real-time images during surgery. Unlike traditional X-rays that are typically taken before or after a procedure, C-arm imaging allows our surgeons to evaluate the fracture and surrounding anatomy while the repair is being performed.
This real-time imaging can help our surgeons assess fracture alignment, guide the placement of plates, screws, pins, and other implants, and confirm the position of the repair before completing the procedure. C-arm fluoroscopy can be particularly valuable when treating fractures near joints or injuries where precise alignment and implant positioning are especially important.
By combining advanced imaging technology with specialized orthopedic surgical techniques, our team can make informed adjustments during surgery and work toward a stable, accurate repair tailored to each patient.
