    Send us a text

    Discover how exposed digits increase weight bearing and alter sub-bandage pressures in dogs with forelimb splints with Sarah Stark, a fourth-year veterinary student from the University of Minnesota. Guided by her mentor, Dr. Wanda Gordon-Evans, Sarah shares her groundbreaking research on forelimb splints and their influence on weight bearing and pressure distribution in dogs. Her study unveils how the design of splints, particularly whether the digits are exposed or enclosed, can significantly impact fracture healing. These revelations not only provide vital insights for veterinary professionals but also open doors for veterinary students to gain recognition through journal awards.

    But the journey doesn't stop there. We also spotlight the indispensable role pet owners play in their animal's recovery process. From understanding the intricacies of splint placement to the critical task of monitoring exposed digits, owners are key players in ensuring proper post-injury care. Be sure to check out Sarah's article in JAVMA and join us in appreciating her significant contributions to veterinary medicine.
