20231026- [Fracture of Lumbar Vertebra] A Shiba Inu, Fixed with FIXPINE Spine Fixation System Successfully

A Shiba Inu, 9 years old, male, 11kg.

He went out on his own in the morning and was suspected to have been beaten, resulting in immobilization of both hind limbs. Physical examination showed grade 4 paralysis of both hind limbs, and X-ray examination revealed a fracture of the lumbar vertebrae, with no orthostatic X-ray of the spine taken to avoid secondary injury. We treated him with BlueSAO FIXPINE Spine Fixation System with 3.0 mm pedicle screws and titanium rods for internal spinal fixation.The surgery was completed successfully. Best wishes for an early recovery.

Thanks to Dr. Gao Peiyuan (Shenyang Agricultural University - Wellhope Animal Hospital) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO FIXPINE spine fixation system.
