Update 96: Out of the Pool! New Bolton's Press Release: Doctors change Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro's cast notes the procedure Barbaro endured today. The following is an excerpt:
Today Chief of Surgery Dean W. Richardson replaced the cast that had been on Barbaro's hind leg since surgery on May 21. "His leg looks excellent," said Dr. Richardson. "The incision has healed well and judging by the radiographs, the graft is opacifying ("taking"). Callus is forming nicely, and all of the implants (plate and screws) look unchanged." The cast was replaced under general anesthesia, and Barbaro had a very smooth pool recovery.
(thanks Edie!)
