Newsroom: Announcement
Title: New trauma
fixation device utilized, 'Fixin'
Date: 4/17/09
Detail: Veterinary
Surgical Centers is pleased to announce that Dr. John Haburjak
and Dr. Kim Carlson have added a new trauma fixation device. This
new system referred to as ‘Fixin’.
www.traumavet.it
This product is designed after a human stainless steel-titanium
coupling system which maintains the alignment of fractures and
osteotomies with fewer screws – thus enhancing biologic
healing – while making use of the tremendous biomechanical
advantages of conical coupling (rather than screw fixation which
requires friction and compression to achieve results). This
new system has already begun to shift the paradigm of many of
the age-old tenets of fracture fixation.
