Post Operative Care:

It's crucial to recognize that most orthopedic surgeries entail a considerable recovery period. Depending on your pet's progress towards the end of their recovery, our team may suggest canine rehabilitation to aid in their recovery process.

Case Studies

This small dog suffered a forearm fracture, which Dr. Torok corrected by internal fixation with a bone plate and screws. Post-operatively, this little guy wore a splint for about 8 weeks to support the fixation and then went back to being a bouncy pup!

Kitten Femur Fracture
This kitten slipped behind the sofa very shortly after being adopted from PAWS Chicago and broke her femur. A pin was placed to stabilize the fracture and following this X-ray to confirm proper placement, the pin was cut to the appropriate length, and the kitty was bandaged for about 4 weeks.
