Surgical Success!
The surgery was a success!
Would you cast Max's hindlimb now, on top of the internal fixation?
That's right, no! Because the advantage of using internal fixation is that the patient can use the leg right after surgery rather than having to hobble around with a cast that immobilizes the joints.
You send Max home with strict instructions: cage rest with leash walks to go to the bathroom and a recheck in one week so we can re-evaluate his Max's repair.
