Tricortical pin tension-band wiring provides the greatest tensile resistance among fixation constructs for feline greater trochanteric avulsion fractures

Bicortical pin TBW may offer a practical balance of strength and simplicity.

Assessment of Femoral Trochlear Groove Depth in Canine Cadavers with Normal Stifle Joints Using Ultrasonography with the Joint Positioned at 45°, 90°, and Hyperextension, and Radiography in the Skyline Projection

Ultrasonography demonstrated greater agreement with ex vivo measurements than radiography.

Biomechanical comparison of three locking plate constructs for stabilization of a femoral segmental defect model in cats

Locking plate-rod configuration exhibited greater deformation.

Minimally invasive osteosynthesis using a dynamic compression angle-stable interlocking nail in feline transverse femoral fractures: an ex vivo study

Dynamic compression angle-stable interlocking nail provided consistent interfragmentary compression.

Factors associated with long-term function in cats treated with femoral head and neck excision

At long-term follow-up, owner-reported quality of life was high.

Fracture of the greater trochanter of the femur in 17 cats: imaging, clinical features and concurrent injuries

Specific outcomes of greater trochanteric fractures are uncertain because of the high occurrence of concurrent orthopaedic injuries.

Medial Meniscal Tears Increase Risk of Moderate to Severe Cartilage Damage to the Medial Femoral Condyle

Stifles with displaceable meniscal tears had a significantly higher frequency of moderate/severe cartilage wear.

Assessment of 3 detorsional planning techniques for distal femoral osteotomy to the distal femoral metaphysis in 3 dog breeds

The tested techniques were not reliable in chondrodystrophic dogs.

Inverted supracondylar femoral dynamic compression plates for revision of construct failure following tibial cranial closing wedge ostectomy in three dogs

The use of an inverted supracondylar plate in the proximal tibia generally had good outcomes.

Evaluation of 3D-printed patient-specific guides to facilitate fluoroscopic-assisted Kirschner wire stabilization of simulated capital physeal fractures in 3D-printed dog femur models

3DP patient-specific guides resulted in faster, simpler, and more accurate Kirschner wire placement.
