Veterinary Surgery

Veterinary Surgery full paper - Kindly offered by Wiley
From April 2019, OVSS readers will have the opportunity to download a paper on orthopedics from each issue of Veterinary Surgery, for free.

Objective

To evaluate the impact of accurate isometric placement of internal brace implants on stifle stability following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in dogs with pivot shift phenomenon and to propose a novel classification system for pivot shift grading.

Objective

To report clinical outcomes of skeletally immature dogs with antebrachial deformities secondary to premature closure of the distal radial physis (PCDRP) treated with angular corrections and distraction osteogenesis using circular external skeletal fixation (CESF).

Objective

To quantify the incidence, extent, and distribution of iatrogenic articular cartilage injury (IACI) during canine elbow arthroscopy and to investigate the effect of arthroscope size on IACI.

Objective To investigate the frequency and factors of medial meniscal injury (MMI) associated with cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) in toy breed dogs by arthroscopic evaluation.

Objective Medial patellar luxation (MPL) is prevalent in small dogs; however, the causes vary, and few studies have reported tibial deformities.

Objective To compare the exposure of the craniolateral approach (CLA) with craniomedial approach (CMA) of the radius in dogs. To make general observations of each approach that may affect the ease of fracture repair.
