Big thanks to Dr. John Owen at Yellow Creek Animal Hospital in Akron, Ohio for sending us radiographs of one of the very first ALPS-II plates implanted in the United States! 

Patient: 12 year old Newfoundland Mix

History: Patient got loose and was found with broken radius and ulna from unknown trauma

First Impression of ALPS-II: “ALPS-II seemed to be quite straightforward. No problems bending the plate. The KLS 4.0 screws worked seamlessly.” -Dr. Owen

Dr. Owen already uses our TPLO system, so when this fracture walked into his clinic, he already had the screws and drill sleeves on hand. The KYON Boston team overnighted the plate, and the surgery was done the next morning.
