MoMo, this 3-month-old, 260g guinea pig baby, had a gruesomely broken left hind leg because the door was closed on his leg accidentally. As a result, his femur was shattered into six pieces, and we struggled to put all the fragments together during the surgery. Additionally, the broken bone got infected, and it took three antibiotics and four months of treatment to clear up this problem. Luckily MoMo's owners didn't give up and diligently provided him with all the care and treatment he needed. He had his final X-rays on 19th February, and while it is not the prettiest bone healing We've ever seen but the bone fragments are fused, and the infection is finally gone!
Check out the CT scan of the broken bone, the surgical video, and the before-after X-rays.
