PC fell down from the second floor and was send by another veterinarian for an orthopaedic second opinion. He couldn't walk or even use his leg. Also, there was some uncertainty whether the organs had been damaged due to the fall. After a check-up and a series of x-ray photos, the diagnosis was that the elbow was luxated and that the capsule was broken. Dr. Marvan and the para-veterinarians decided to reconstruct the elbow so PC could keep using his leg.

Nowadays, he runs and plays with pleasure and jumps in the boat of his owner (www.kanohaaglanden.nl)

 

This photograph has been taken before surgery. You can clearly see that the elbow is dislocated.
