<p>At Fitzpatrick Referrals we have special expertise in the application of complex external fixation for the correction of severe deformities or addressing significant trauma, including limbs where extensive soft tissue and bone loss has occurred, requiring advanced grafting techniques.</p>
<h3>Client Case Study - Geordie</h3>

<p>"Geordie was at Fitzpatrick’s for ten weeks, the standard of care he had was superb. During that time the broken leg was reconstructed, fusing the hock. He had a large external frame which kept the bones and the metal inside and outside his leg in place. The unbroken leg had the ligaments strengthened and he had several weeks of intensive hydrotherapy. When we visited he was always our dog, pleased to see us, tail wagging. <br /><br />Noel’s focus is always on the animal, so it meant the world to us when he took time on Christmas Day and New Years Eve to phone and let us know that Geordie was okay. Geordie has been given the best chance to recover the use of his leg by Noel and his team. After less than six months he is here, fi t and healthy with four working legs and continuing to improve."</p>
