Abrasion arthroplasty may form an effective treatment option for lateral coronoid disease in dogs.

Outcomes of 11 dogs with short radius syndrome treated with acute arthroscopically assisted ulnar shortening

Short-term clinical improvement was documented following AUS in all 11 dogs.

Effect of Medial Opening Wedge and External Rotational Humeral Osteotomies on Medial Elbow Compartment Pressure: An Ex Vivo Study

Increasing the angle of the induced change had a significant effect on the decreased load through the medial compartment.

Feline radial and ulnar diaphyseal fractures: a retrospective study of 49 cases comparing single bone fixation and dual bone fixation

Fractures that were repaired with single bone fixation had a greater chance of a better outcome.

Sacral fracture stabilisation using dorsal transiliac locking plates: 12 cases (2017-2023)

This method represents a robust and safe option to stabilise sacral fractures in dogs and cats.

Effects of simulated radioulnar synostosis on supination and pronation in cats. A cadaveric study

Induced radioulnar synostosis decreases antebrachial rotation by more than two-thirds.

Comparison of bupivacaine liposome injectable solution and fentanyl for postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing limb amputation

As BLIS provides equivalent analgesia, this may allow for decreased reliance on opioids in the immediate postoperative period.

Effect of an Orthogonal Locking Plate and Primary Plate Working Length on Construct Stiffness and Plate Strain in an In vitro Fracture-Gap Model

Single plate construct stiffness was significantly, incrementally, lower in four-point bending and torsion as working length was extended.
