Not only is she a great writer and a pawesome vet, we are thrilled to announce that Dr. Sarah Boston's new limb sparing (shortening) surgical procedure is now published and ready for prime time! 

Limb shortening as a strategy for limb sparing treatment of appendicular osteosarcoma of the distal radius in a dog.

A 14-year-old, female spayed Labrador Retriever with an osteosarcoma of the right distal radius and a pathological fracture. A previous mast cell tumor had been treated 5 years prior to presentation with marginal excision and a full-course radiation over the right metacarpal bones. The dog had received 2 doses of palliative radiation just prior to presentation.

And a video showing the patient:

Early next year we will have Dr. Boston on Tripawd Talk Radio to discuss the procedure in more detail. This is exciting stuff!
