Effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on radiographic healing of tibial plateau leveling osteotomies in dogs: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study

Vet Surg. 2018 May 20. doi: 10.1111/vsu.12798. [Epub ahead of print]

This study does not provide evidence to support the clinical application of LIPUS to stimulate the healing of stable, uncomplicated osteotomies to accelerate bone healing.

Developing a testing battery for measuring dogs' stifle functionality: the Finnish Canine Stifle Index (FCSI)

Vet Rec. 2018 May 19. pii: vetrec-2017-104588. doi: 10.1136/vr.104588. [Epub ahead of print]

An estimate of the surgically treated and control dogs' FCSI scores were 105 (95 per cent CI 93 to 116) and 20 (95 per cent CI 4 to 37), respectively. The difference between the groups was significant (P<0.001).

Effect of silicon-doped calcium phosphate bone grafting materials on bone regeneration and osteogenic marker expression after implantation in the ovine scapula

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater. 2018 May 16. doi: 10.1002/jbm.b.34153. [Epub ahead of print]

Taken together, Si-CAOP induced the most expeditious bone regeneration of critical size defects in the sheep scapula.

Upcoming Events

June 08, 2018 to June 10, 2018

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy

This interactive course includes lectures and laboratories to teach participants the theory and method of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). Participants will perform TPLOs on plastic bones and cadavers using state of the art equipment and implants. Participants will use locking plate technology to simplify, increase precision and reduce complications of the procedure. Participants should have a basic knowledge of the surgical anatomy and approach to the stifle. Postoperative radiographs will be taken to assess the participant’s repair technique.

Hip & Stifle Surgery Workshop

Hindlimb lameness is a very common problem presented to the general practitioner for treatment. The majority of these cases originate from the hip and stifle joints and many of these problems respond very favourably to surgical treatment. This workshop is designed to provide a practical refresher on the common problems and treatment for the hip and stifle joints in the dog. This will be delivered as short updates illustrated with case studies followed with a hands-on laboratory session on cadavers.
