Noel Fitzpatrick, at Fitzpatrick Referrals, talks in depth to vetpulse.tv about his pioneering collaboration with Stanmore Implants Worldwide to revolutionise the treatment of amputees through the use of the ITAP (intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthesis).
Underpinning the ITAP is the concept, never before employed in veterinary science, of mimicing the growth of deer antler in metal, to create a permanent feature that can be used to attach a prosthesis to, reducing the risk of infection and irritation for the patient.

A NEW STANDARD OF MEDICINE AND SURGERYJOINTS - GENERAL
Joint replacement: For hip, elbow and stifle. Biomedtrix™ cemented
and un-cemented technologies are employed.
Arthrodesis: New technologies of internal and external skeletal fixation.
Osteochondral transplantation: For severe cartilage erosion and
osteochondritis dissecans (OCD).

fragments where metallic implants may be inappropriate.
Cannulated self-compressing screws: We have pioneered the
use of this technology in small animals.

process (FMCP); reconstruction of ununited anconeal process (DAP) and
incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC).
Growth deformities; fractures and non-unions (internal and external skeletal
fixation; distraction osteogenesis and distraction-compression osteointegration);
tumours (bone transport and customised osteointegration implants).
