Joint Replacement Specialists
Changing Pets’ Lives One Joint at a Time
Dr. Kirk Wendelburg and VCA Animal Specialty Group have been leaders in canine joint replacements since the late 1980’s. Dr. Wendelburg’s achievements in joint replacements include the patenting and development of the BANC (biomechanically anatomic, non-constrained, compartmental) Elbow Replacement produced by Kyon and the Lateral Bolt BFX Hip Replacement produced by BioMedtrix, as well as multiple publications and national/
international lectures related to joint replacement. We now have long-term follow-up on thousands of cases in the USA and Europe. Both technologies have been extremely successful and may become the worldwide standard of care for canine joint replacement of the hip and elbow.
