Elbow Arthrodesis Plate 3.5mm/2.7mm

Elbow Arthrodesis Plate 3.5mm/2.7mm

Severe elbow DJD is difficult to manage. Despite advances in elbow replacement, outcomes are not entirely predictable and even when pain free, dogs rarely have a normal gait.
Where funds are limited or elbow replacement has failed, arthrodesis may present a realistic option. The results are a pain free limb, albeit with an abnormal gait.
The single size elbow arthrodesis plate currently available will fit most Labradors and is available either as a non-locking plate or as a non-locking and locking hybrid.
Applied medially with an inbuilt 110? bend, the distal segment engages with the ulna.
For patients of different sizes, please contact our offices with patient details and we will explore possible solutions for you.
