Research description
I am particularly interested in feline fracture fixation and bone disease. I am involved in ongoing work looking at patella fractures in cats and optimal stabilisation techniques. We have recently installed a forceplate and are starting some prospective studies on dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease.
