For those of you who watch medical shows or studied anatomy, here’s the doc-speak on Audrey’s condition. And I quote from Dr. Canapp’s notes:
“Radiographs of the left forelimb revealed a portion of the distal radial physis and all of the ulnar physis have closed prematurely. A previous salter harris II fracture was noted just proximal to the distal growth plate. The left radius was approximately 0.5 cm shorter than in the right limb. Carpal valgus and external rotation is noted. Remodeling of the distal radial epiphysis and moderate remodeling and displacement of radial carpal bone were noted.”
Surgical procedures: distal ulnar ostectomy; radial corrective osteotomy and distraction osteogenesis.
whew!

Audrey,we think that brace thing looks pretty Goth. If you flaunt it, every pug will want one.
