Patellar fractures in cats: Repair techniques and treatment decision-making

The best method for managing patellar fractures is still an area where more research is needed.

Accuracy of medial-to-lateral transcondylar screw placement using an aiming device and preoperative computer tomography planning for the treatment of humeral intracondylar fissure

Use of CT planning and an aiming device allows accurate placement of transcondylar screws.

Calcaneotibial screws for immobilisation of the tarsocrural joint of dogs in extension: effect of the angle of screw placement on the force to failure in a canine cadaveric model

Extrapolation of these results into a clinical setting requires caution.

Management and Long-Term Outcome of Acetabular Fractures in Dogs: A Retrospective Study of 49 Dogs

Acetabular fractures predominate in the mid and caudal acetabulum.

Influence of interlocking thread screws to repair simulated adult canine humeral condylar fractures

Biomechanical performance of constructs was improved with ITS rather than BTS fixation.

Titanium mesh osteosynthesis for the treatment of severely comminuted maxillofacial fractures in four dogs

Titanium mesh osteosynthesis can achieve sufficient rigidity.

Radiation exposure associated with percutaneous fluoroscopically guided lag screw fixation for sacroiliac luxation in dogs

The described technique may be a viable method for minimally invasive osteosynthesis fixation of SIL.

Comparison of Single versus Double Lateral Plating in Treatment of Feline Ilial Fractures Using Veterinary Cuttable Plates

DLP leads to significantly less implant failure.

The combined effects of dynamization time and degree on bone healing

Dynamization degree and timing interactively affect the healing process

Short-term outcomes of 59 dogs treated for ilial body fractures with locking or non-locking plates

Fractures repaired with NLS were nearly 20 times more likely to fail than those repaired with LPS.
