New Veterinary Orthopedic Implants

The Iliac Plate is a new orthopedic implant developed to perform osteosynthesis of ilial body fractures. Nine surgeries to repair fractures of the ilium were performed in dogs of different breeds using this plate and very good results were obtained in all cases. The main characteristic of this plate is its design that allows the placement of several screws in a small area and has a lateral angulation of 12.5º that avoids the reduction of the pelvic canal lumen.
