Fracture Fixation and Implants

This technique resulted in comparable complication and infection rates in canine PCA to previous published studies using hybrid dynamic compression plates.

This study does not provide evidence to support postoperative antibiotic therapy after TTA.

The free-form multiplanar type II ESF provides an alternative for minimally invasive fixation of distal RUF in miniature- and toy-breed dogs.

Further research including cyclic fatigue testing is needed to reveal more clinically pertinent information.

The risk of perioperative mortality is considerably lower than previously reported.

These results highlight the importance of utilising large caseloads and appropriate control groups when breed susceptibility is reported.

Simultaneous treatment of tibial fracture and CrCL rupture with unilateral external fixation was successful in this dog and may be helpful in similar cases.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis represents an alternative to open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of comminuted humeral T-Y fractures.

The C-LOX device seems to be a valuable alternative to more complicated distraction-fusion techniques.

The advantages related to the minimally invasive approach and implant removal could make the supercutaneous plating (SCP) an alternative to the traditional external skeletal fixation.
