On September 7, 2026, the latest dynamic in the global veterinary minimally invasive surgery field shows that the penetration of minimally invasive small animal orthopedic instruments with trocar and micro-osteotomy functions is rising rapidly in pet specialty hospitals. These products are no longer just auxiliary surgical tools, but have become the core hardware basis for veterinary clinics to carry out high-quality minimally invasive orthopedic surgery.

      In the past, traditional open fracture surgery for pets usually required a long incision of 8 to 15 cm, which caused large trauma to pets, slow postoperative recovery, and the pet needed to stay in the hospital for observation for more than 5 days. The new generation of minimally invasive small animal orthopedic instruments can complete the fracture reduction and internal fixation operation through a 2 to 3 cm small incision. The length of the surgical incision is reduced by 65%, the intraoperative bleeding is reduced by more than 70%, and the pet can resume normal walking activities 2 to 3 days after surgery.

      A field test data from a large chain veterinary hospital in North America shows that after the hospital introduced a complete set of minimally invasive small animal orthopedic instruments, the average hospitalization time of orthopedic surgery pets was shortened from 5.2 days to 1.8 days, and the postoperative incision infection rate dropped from 6.7% to 1.1%. The annual revenue of orthopedic surgery increased by 48%, and the comprehensive customer satisfaction of pet owners increased by 36 percentage points. At the same time, the operation of such minimally invasive instruments does not require large-scale modification of the original operating room of the clinic, and the threshold for clinical promotion is greatly reduced.

      At present, minimally invasive orthopedic instruments for small animals, which are compatible with high-definition veterinary endoscopes, have become the standard configuration for new top veterinary specialty hospitals. These devices can directly display the fracture details on the high-definition screen, helping young veterinarians complete complex reduction operations more accurately.

      Industry experts said that in the future, minimally invasive small animal orthopedic instruments will further integrate digital navigation functions, helping more grassroots veterinary clinics to carry out high-precision orthopedic surgery, and promoting the overall level of global small animal orthopedic diagnosis and treatment to continue to improve.
