Fluoroscopy

VOSM is currently utilizing intra-operative fluoroscopy for the following procedures:

• Angular limb and growth deformities / distraction osteogenesis
• Bone tumor limb spares / distraction osteogenesis
• Closed reduction and fixation of long bone and articular fractures
• Closed reduction and external fixation of spinal fractures
• Spinal fusion for Wobblers disease
• Guided bone biopsies
• Implant removals
• Corrective osteotomies/ostectomies:
• Angular limb and growth deformities / distraction osteogenesis
• Bone tumor limb spares / distraction osteogenesis
• Confirmation of implant placement or fracture reduction prior to closure (articular fractures or periarticular implants.)
• Obtaining post-operative images (eliminates transport of patient to radiology and therefore decreases anesthesia time.)
• Myelograms for intervetebral disc disease
