Fracture Fixation and Implants

Biomechanical evaluation of two plating configurations for fixation of a simple transverse caudal mandibular fracture model in cats

Both fixation constructs were mechanically inferior to intact mandibles

Clinical outcomes of patient-specific porous titanium endoprostheses in dogs with tumors of the mandible, radius, or tibia: 12 cases (2013-2016)

The 3-D printing enabled function-sparing treatment of bone cancer affecting multiple anatomic sites

Biomechanical comparison between pins and polymethylmethacrylate and the SOP locking plate system to stabilize canine lumbosacral fracture-luxation in flexion and extension

The stability of the two fixation techniques was similar for the L7-S1 and adjacent L5-L6 junctions

Postoperative complications associated with external skeletal fixators in cats

The higher complication rate in the femur, tarsus and radius/ulna should be considered when reviewing options for fracture management

Single cycle to failure in bending of three titanium polyaxial locking plates

The PAX RP and VetLOX reconstruction plates are much more likely to fail when used as bridging implants

Guidelines for surgical approaches for minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in cats

By respecting the anatomical landmarks described, damage to the neurovascular structures can be avoided

Open reduction and cranial bone plate fixation of fractures involving the distal aspect of the radius and ulna in miniature- and toy-breed dogs: 102 cases (2008-2015)

Excellent outcome with a low complication rate.

Postoperative complications associated with external skeletal fixators in cats

Higher complication rate when reviewing options for fracture management: lower rate of pin tract infections than dogs.

Radius and ulna fracture repair with the IMEX miniature circular external skeletal fixation system in 37 small and toy breed dogs: A retrospective study

This modified IMEX MCESF construct provided an effective alternative to treat young small and toy breed dogs with radius and ulna fractures.

Ex vivo torsional properties of a 2.5 mm veterinary interlocking nail system in canine femurs. Comparison with a 2.4 mm limited contact bone plate

The system should be considered as a low-strength and low-stiffness system when compared to bone plates
