After suffering serious frostbite, Dymka is now living large with new titanium limbs.
A passerby found the cat in the snow and took her to a clinic where a team of vets collaborated with researchers from a Russian university to give Dymka a chance to walk again.Things looked grim for Dymka, a cat found by a passerby on the side of a road in Novokuznetsk, a city in southwestern Siberia.
But thanks thanks to some quick and innovative thinking, a team of veterinarians and researchers from Russia’s Tomsk Polytechnic University , saved Dymka's life—and mobility—by amputating the cat's legs and 3D-printing titanium replacements. In order to create these prosthetics, the team took CT scans of the cat's legs using x-rays. Then they used the scans to 3D-print titanium rods that would become her new legs. Dymka received these new prosthetics in July 2019.The titanium limbs, which were implanted into Dymka’s leg bones, were coated with calcium phosphate to help doctors mount them and reduce the risk of infection.
