Outcomes of 243 dogs with traumatic fractures treated with the I-Loc interlocking nail

Use of the I-Loc system was associated with positive results across a wide range of presentations.

Comparison of tibial alignment following bent or straight interlocking nail fixation for dogs with diaphyseal tibial fractures

The detrimental effects of a higher TPA with use of a sILN need further investigation.

Treatment Outcome and Radiographic Appearance of Healed Tibial Tuberosity Avulsion Fractures in Skeletally Mature Dogs: 21 Cases (2016–2023)

Non-surgically managed TTAF do not significantly alter tibial tuberosity and PP.

The enhanced stability of ring pin–based tension band wiring in canine transverse patellar fracture models

The ring pin can be considered a viable option for fractures in dogs primarily requiring resistance to tensile forces.

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.

Proximal femoral fixation method and axial load affect simulated muscle forces in an ex vivo feline limb press

Retaining hip flexion-extension yields normalized quadriceps forces closer to in vivo values and could improve current ex vivo models.

Accuracy of a table-bound reduction and drill guide system for minimally invasive sacroiliac screw placement in cats

The described technique and equipment allow placement of iliosacral screws in cats with repeatable accuracy.

Retrospective comparison of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and open reduction and plate stabilization of antebrachial fractures in 105 dogs (2017–2022)

The results do not corroborate several of the purported advantages ascribed to MIPO.

Detection of intra-articular implant penetration of the canine stifle with radiography: A cadaveric study

The overall accuracy of radiography for the detection of IAIP of the stifle was 78%.

Antebrachial conformation in Cocker Spaniels with and without humeral intracondylar fissure

An increase in both PRUDA and UCORA was significantly associated with the presence of HIF.
