The affected dog was sent to the hospital on April 7,2022. In the first diagnosis,there was obvious fracture in the leg and skin loss. DR imaging examination for the tibiofibula comminuted fracture. In the afternoon of the same day, emergency internal fixation was performed. Due to skin loss and poor blood circulation, she suffered from skin necrosis and infection after surgery. Later, antibiotic sensitivity was adjusted several times, and the skin was sutured five times in December 2022. During this period, the drug wound of stem cells andantiseptic muscle couldnot heal completely. In February, the film showed signs of osteolysis.Finally, the wound healed after treatment with LUNVET 4-wavelength veterinary laser.

Treatment method
Rehabilitation treatmentmethods: laser, antibiotic, dressing.
Drug:vancomycin
Operation: Laser treatmentfor 4 consecutive times, then once a day, with dressing
and vancomycin injection once every morning and evening.
Numberof laser treatments: 8 treatments
Laser treatment protocol:Canine- -choose wound- -choose chronic- -choose wound
area
Treatment process
Because the affected canine hasabone plate under the skinof the wound, in order to avoid the laser irradiation on the bone plate causing the feveraround the skin and granulation tissue, the main lateral medial area, theknee joint, and the bone plate was swept away.Non-contact laser treatment was performed using a 25mm open probe moving at a speed of 3cm per second to quickly sweep the bone plate location.
Treatment frequency:4 times, then once a day. Follow-up treatment protocol:subsequent laser treatment osteolysis protocol is the laser every day in the first month (2.10-3.10), review the X-ray sheet,and adjust the laser treatment frequency according to the bone mineral density.
The woundhas been unable to heal before laser therapy, andit is visible after 8 laser treatments.
Treatment summary
Compared with the wound healing condition before treatment, laser therapy did play a great role in wound healing. The newincrease wavelength of Lunvet veterinary laser -- 1064nm canreduce the absorption of dark skin, accelerate the blood circulation around the wound, promote the healing speed of the wound, improve the treatment depth and safety, which has important clinical significance for the cases of non-healing of the wound.
