The radius healed faster than tibia. Wearing frames with low or moderate stiffness, the absence of mechanical complications, a larger distraction distance, and a larger bone size accelerated bone consolidation.
Medial-to-lateral drilling for transcondylar screw placement carries a higher risk of inadvertently penetrating the joint compared with lateral-to-medial drilling.
Double-loop double-crimp configurations are mechanically superior to other previously described configurations for extracapsular stabilization of the cranial cruciate ligament-deficient stifle.
The unilateral approach to lumbar spinal fixation yielded comparable strength and stiffness when tested for bending in flexion to that of reference standard dorsal approach.
To assess the influence of locking plate and screw implants on postoperative infection rate in dogs >50 kg undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO).
To investigate the use of K-wires as alignment aids for cranial closing wedgeostectomy (CCWO) and evaluate their effect on osteotomy accuracy and angular/rotational alignment.
