Fracture Fixation and Implants

The modified endoprosthetic technique allowed complete excision of the carpal joint, which resulted in acceptable functional outcomes in the dog described here.

The 6 techniques appear equally effective at limiting tibiotarsal joint flexion during single axial loading of 200 N.

A novel titanium implant decreases the tibial traumatisation by reducing the number of screws.

Distal ostectomies may include part of the manus during limb salvage surgery of locally extensive distal radial osteosarcoma and using an endoprosthesis implant to reconstruct the defect.

The results of this study do not provide evidence to support the routine use of LIPUS after TPLO or other stable osteotomies in dogs.

The characteristics and shape of this implant make it a suitable consideration for iliac body fractures in canine and feline patients.

This study provides some evidence that LLLT may improve the gait of dogs recovering from a TPLO, as assessed by owners.

The protocol reported here may be used as a guide in clinics seeking to reduce their IAI rates after TPLO

Fracture fixation stability is compromised by an open screw hole directly over a fracture gap compared to the open screw hole being buttressed by bone in the model studied.

Modifications and injuries of nerve sheaths and blood vessels depending on distraction rate and frequency contribute to peroneal neuropathy. Its mechanical, circulatory and metabolic causes are discussed.
