Fracture Fixation and Implants

Temporary transarticular stabilisation with a locking plate provided adequate temporary immobilisation of the joint.

This method provides stable fixation with minimal specific complications.

This study found no evidence to suggest that either plate or pin epicondylar fixation is superior in French bulldogs.

Revision surgery is often required, and a good outcome can be expected.

Partial tarsal arthrodesis is associated with excellent outcomes for return to pre-injury activities.

Uniform and symmetric cis-cortical over-drilling compromises construct torsional stability.

This technique may facilitate precise and repeatable application of external skeletal fixator wires in dogs.

Cats had a low major complication rate.

All owners were highly satisfied with the outcome of their pet's surgery.

Across all PBD, there was significantly less stiffness for constructs with two screws per fragment.
