ORTHOPEDIC CONSULTS AND SURGERY

 Orthopedic surgery is a broad term for surgical repair of the bone or joint. A canine or feline that has broken or fractured a bone due to trauma, or one that is suffering from a congenital condition that affects the joint, may require orthopedic surgery. In order to make surgical corrections to the bone, the dog will be referred to a veterinary specialist with training and the appropriate tools. Orthopedic Surgery is the most effective procedure for correcting an affected bone or joint and returning the patient to a normal state of health. Some orthopedic surgeries include:

                             Cruciate ligament repair                          Limb deformity correction

                            Minimally-invasive fracture surgery          Total elbow replacement

                            Total hip replacement                                Ligament and tendon reconstruction

                            Total knee replacement                             Hip and elbow dysplasia repair

She then completed a doctorate degree at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria in pathophysiology, where she performed scientific research about growth factor physiology. In 2006 Dr. Mayer-Roenne returned to the US and worked as an emergency and critical care staff veterinarian at Cornell University, NY. During this time she completed the Educational  Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) certification program. Dr. Mayer-Roenne completed a residency in Small Animal Internal  Medicine at Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge, LA. There she had the good fortune to work with many great professors amongst them Dr.  Lorrie Gaschen, a very well known veterinary specialist in radiology. Dr. Mayer-Roenne was able to watch and perform over one thousand ultrasound exams under the guidance of veterinary radiologists and  cardiologists while at LSU. Dr. Mayer-Roenne also received extensive  training in endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures during her residency.

Dr. Mayer-Roenne moved to Florida and worked as a staff internist at Pet PB Animal Emergency and Referral Center in Boynton Beach, from 2009 until 2011. She performed almost one thousand ultrasound exams while working at Pet PB and hundreds of endoscopic procedures, ultrasound guided aspirates and biopsies.

In  2013, while still working for IDEXX, Dr. Mayer-Roenne started her mobile internal medicine practice and has become very busy very quickly.  She has been working full time for her practice since the beginning of  2015 and has truly enjoyed becoming a consultant and team member of many local small animal hospitals in Palm Beach county.

She is able to provide the most up to date  veterinary medicine by reading many scientific journals, attending yearly veterinary conferences and continuing education seminars and clinics for ACVIM diplomates.

Ultrasounds are the same technology used to generate sonograms during human pregnancy, uses sound waves transmitted into the body to create an image. Ultrasound is a very non-invasive modality that has no side effects, although occasionally mild sedation is needed to help an anxious patient remain still so a clear image can be captured
