Apollo’s owner contacted Cutting Edge Veterinary Surgery after he sustained a significant fracture to his humerus. He was initially stabilised at a local emergency centre, and his owner chose to have his surgery performed closer to home.
Apollo had suffered a transverse mid-humeral fracture, suspected to have been caused by a horse kick. This type of injury requires careful surgical planning and experienced handling. Dr Aiden performed the procedure, placing a lateral bone plate to stabilise the fracture following precise reduction.
Importantly, Apollo’s radial nerve was identified and carefully preserved during surgery. The fracture was located only millimetres from the nerve, so we were very pleased to find it remained intact.
With careful rest and rehabilitation we expect Apollo to make a full recovery!
