20190703 -【Repairing of infected tibial fracture】A Poodle, fixed with HyProtect-PRCL-L antimicrobial plasma coating plate system successfully

A Poodle, named Dudu, one year old, 20kg. There was infection and a loosening of implants after the first surgery. So we repaired it by using the BlueSAO HyProtect-PRCL- L11mm antimicrobial plasma coating locking plate.The MicroSilver antimicrobial plasma coatings come from German Bio-Gate company. It is specifically designed for fracture with high risk of infection (Repairing of infected fracture, open fracture, etc.). This antimicrobial plasma coating can release Ag+( silver ion) in body more than 100 days for resisting infection.

Within a week, his periosteal reaction was well, so we did cancellous bone transplantation. During this surgery, we adopted the advice of Dr. Zhou that we added a BlueSAO PRCL-8mm locking plate on the cranial tibia to strengthen the fixation. After that, the skin was completely reconstructed, and we also found the growth of bone.

After three months, the master sent us the X-ray of the recheck. We found that the fracture was healed and there was no infection. The dog can walk normally. The next thing to do is to observe the healing of bone and prevent stress shielding. This treatment is basically completed.

Thanks for Dr. Du from Kunming Hengjia Animal Hospital of Yunnan province bringing us the case.
