20230822- [Comminuted Fracture of the Distal Tibiofibula] A Silver Shaded British Shorthair Cat, Fixed with HyProtect-PRCL-S Silver Ion Antimicrobial Plate System for Internal Fixation Successfully

An silver shaded British shorthair cat, nickname: Huahua, 1 year old, female (unneutered), 3.4kg.

Etiology: the cat who had run out for two days came back and was found that her right hind limb could not touch the ground. The imaging examination revealed a comminuted fracture of the distal tibiofibula on the right hind limb. She was fixed with double plate of BlueSAO HyProtect-PRCL®-6.5mm+5mm pure titanium locking plate for dual plate internal fixation, with silver-ion antimicrobial plates selected for the main plate. Best wishes for an early recovery.

Hyprotect silver ion antibacterial coating is a black technology from Bio-Gate, a German company, specializing in fracture types with high risk of infection (infected fracture repair, open fracture, etc.), which can continuously precipitate silver ions in the body for more than 100 days, with a long-lasting antimicrobial effect and an antimicrobial rate of 99.9%.

Thanks to Dr. Wei (Hani Animal Hospital of Yili, Xinjiang) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO HyProtect-PRCL silver-ion antimicrobial plates.
