Case Overview
In April 2025, a stunning caracal suffering from a femur fracture began its road to recovery — and is now on its way to roaming freely in the wild.
A Surgical Insight
The femur fracture was surgically treated by Dr. Matan Or, using a 3.5 LeiLOX Locking Bridge Plate to provide stable fixation and support the healing process. The LeiLOX system is designed to offer reliable stability while minimizing soft tissue disruption, which is crucial for optimal recovery and a safe return to natural mobility. Its locking mechanism ensures strong fixation, and the bridging technique helps maintain blood supply to the bone, supporting natural bone regeneration.
Implant Overview:
• Secure Stability: Rigid fixation for reliable fracture healing.
• Tissue-Friendly: Minimizes soft tissue disruption.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for various fracture types.
• Supports Healing: Promotes natural bone regeneration.
Recovery Outlook
Since the operation, the caracal has been recovering well, with stable post-op results and steady healing progress. Although a full recovery will take time, the outlook is very encouraging, and the wild cat is expected to gradually regain strength and mobility.
A Testament to Modern Veterinary Innovation
This case is a powerful reminder that LeiLOX technology is not only trusted for small animals and pets but also plays a critical role in wildlife surgery and rehabilitation. It’s inspiring to see these solutions help animals regain their freedom.
