Join us Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022 at 12pm for our webinar Implications of Bone Healing in Private Practice with Dr. Alex Aguila. A knowledge of the physiology of normal bone healing is influential in determining appropriate recommendations for treatment. Although bone healing is largely perceived through the lens of rigid fixation, the importance of blood supply sometimes needs to be remembered and reviewed. Timing from the incidence of trauma to the point of care is also important, and the role of signalment on timing should not be overlooked in decision-making. With so many factors in play, there are often multiple ways to achieve bony healing, and sometimes compromises need to be made based on circumstances, some medical, some not. A strong knowledge of bone healing is imperative to setting up appropriate client expectations for treatment and prognosis.
Dr. Aguila completed his veterinary degree (Cornell University) in 2000, his small animal surgery residency (Cornell University) in 2002, and earned board certification from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) in 2006. Prior to joining Animal Surgical in 2008, he worked in private practice at Bay Area Veterinary Specialists in Houston, TX. His published work includes biomechanical studies on locking bone plate technology. Dr. Aguila is now part-owner of Animal Surgical & Orthopedic Center (formerly Animal Surgical Clinic of Seattle), which remains one of the few locally-owned specialty practices left in the region.
