Fracture Fixation and Implants

LCP may be a more suitable implant for stabilizing complex diaphyseal tibial fractures in cats.

Pantarsal arthrodesis offers a predictably good medium to long-term outcome in spite of a high risk of complications.

Blount-staples and RigidTacksTM are adequate implants for total temporary epiphysiodesis.

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.
