Treatment of antebrachial deformities secondary to premature closure of the distal radial physis using circular external skeletal fixation and distraction osteogenesis in skeletally immature dogs

Objective

To report clinical outcomes of skeletally immature dogs with antebrachial deformities secondary to premature closure of the distal radial physis (PCDRP) treated with angular corrections and distraction osteogenesis using circular external skeletal fixation (CESF).

Evaluation of iatrogenic articular cartilage injury associated with arthroscopic exploration of the canine elbow

Objective

To quantify the incidence, extent, and distribution of iatrogenic articular cartilage injury (IACI) during canine elbow arthroscopy and to investigate the effect of arthroscope size on IACI.

Incidence of Medial Meniscus Injury Detected by Arthroscopy in Toy Breed Dogs (≤5 kg) with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Objective To investigate the frequency and factors of medial meniscal injury (MMI) associated with cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) in toy breed dogs by arthroscopic evaluation.

Tibial Torsion Malalignment in Small Dogs with Medial Patellar Luxation

Objective Medial patellar luxation (MPL) is prevalent in small dogs; however, the causes vary, and few studies have reported tibial deformities.

Does the Craniolateral Approach Provide Better Exposure to the Radius than the Craniomedial Approach for Internal Fracture Fixation in Dogs?

Objective To compare the exposure of the craniolateral approach (CLA) with craniomedial approach (CMA) of the radius in dogs. To make general observations of each approach that may affect the ease of fracture repair.
