Vetmedix Case Sharing丨High Power Laser Treatment of Femoral Tibial Fractures

INTRODUCTION

Femoral tibial fractures in small animals are serious bone injuries that require timely diagnosis and treatment. Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that greatly promotes wound healing. It can significantly reduce inflammation and analgesia, promote wound healing, and reduce edema. At the same time, it can also promote better absorption of drugs and improve blood circulation, thus accelerating the recovery process of dogs. This case study demonstrates the use of Vetmedix veterinary laser to enhance recovery after a femoral tibial fracture.

Long-term follow-up: After 7 days of treatment, the results show a positive prognosis. According to the pet owner's feedback, Sugar Baby has now returned to his pre-operative state and has become a free-moving kitten again.

Conclusion

As a non-invasive treatment method, this therapy not only greatly reduces the pain and inflammatory symptoms of sick pets, but also greatly promotes the natural healing process of wounds through its mechanism that promotes blood circulation. Vetmedix uses advanced high-energy laser photobiomodulation technology (PBM) to provide small animals with a safe and effective treatment option, which has a huge role in promoting the healing of postoperative wounds. This innovative therapy not only significantly speeds up the healing process, but also effectively shortens the recovery time, helping it return to a vibrant, healthy and worry-free life faster.
