Ulnocarpal arthrodesis as a new treatment for ectrodactyly in a dog and a cat

This case series therefore provides evidence in support of this treatment option for this heterogeneous congenital deformity.

Diagnostic accuracy of radiographs for the diagnosis of humeral intracondylar fissure in dogs

Radiographic imaging alone is insufficient for reliably diagnosing humeral intracondylar fissures in dogs.

Computed tomographic re-evaluation of skeletally immature French bulldogs previously diagnosed with humeral intracondylar fissure: 12 cases (2018-2022)

Follow-up CT may be warranted in skeletally immature French bulldogs.

Clinical experience and outcomes using a commercially available micro-plating system for metabone fractures in dogs and cats: 10 cases (2019-2023)

Results demonstrated complete functional recovery and 100% clinical union rates in all patients.

Minimally invasive tarsal arthrodesis in 15 dogs

MITA may be considered as an option to obtain functional arthrodesis in dogs.

Pleomorphic sarcoma secondary to proximal femoral epiphysiolysis with bone infarction over 4 years after cementless total hip replacement in a dog

Submitting the femoral head for histopathologic examination should be considered at the time of the hip replacement surgery.

Use of cannulated screws in the treatment of unicondylar humeral condylar fractures in dogs

The UHFs repaired by transcondylar cannulated screws had acceptable outcomes.

Effect of Plate Length on Construct Stiffness and Strain in a Synthetic Short-Fragment Fracture Gap Model Stabilized with a 3.5-mm Locking Compression Plate

A long plate offered biomechanical advantages of increased construct stiffness.

Virtual surgical planning and use of a 3D-printed, patient-specific reduction system for minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of diaphyseal tibial fractures in dogs: A historic case control study

VSP and the custom 3D-printed reduction system facilitated efficient MIPO.

Evaluation of Osteotomy Healing in Boxer Dogs Undergoing Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy Using Two Radiographic Scoring Systems

No difference was found in inter- and intraobserver variability between scoring systems.
