Fracture Fixation and Implants

This study does not provide evidence to support administration of prophylactic oral antimicrobial medications after unilateral TPLO.

PLS offers a durable locking system, even when the screws are placed polyaxially.

This study constitutes a first step toward the building of a virtual database of pre-computed cases.

No difference in infection rates was detected between DLP, LP, or NLP for TPLO in these dogs weighing >50 kg.

Despite the limitations of a cadaveric study, the high number of complications is leading us to consider the humerus not safe for the TVS.

All three miniature locking plate systems provided adequate fracture stabilization 4 weeks after surgery, despite their differences, in rabbit models.

Significant barriers must be overcome before the techniques are likely to be more widely adopted.

Patients that developed tibial tuberosity fracture and were conservatively managed did not have a worse clinical outcome than patients that did not develop tibial tuberosity fracture.

Cases with comminution have a higher complication rate.

Repair of Y-T humeral fractures with LCP allowed for hybrid fixation and monocortical screw placement in distal fracture fragments.
