Use of a tibial osseointegrated prosthesis as a limb salvage method in two dogs

This osseointegrated implant system allowed dogs to regain normal clinical function of their pelvic limb for 3 years.

Repeatability and reproducibility of a tomographic method for measuring tibial torsion in dogs with medial patellar luxation

The new tomographic method was repeatable and reproducible for the measurement of tibial torsion in dogs with MPL.

Medial Meniscal Tears Increase Risk of Moderate to Severe Cartilage Damage to the Medial Femoral Condyle

Stifles with displaceable meniscal tears had a significantly higher frequency of moderate/severe cartilage wear.

Retrospective comparison of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and open reduction and plate stabilization of antebrachial fractures in 105 dogs (2017–2022)

The results do not corroborate several of the purported advantages ascribed to MIPO.

Detection of intra-articular implant penetration of the canine stifle with radiography: A cadaveric study

The overall accuracy of radiography for the detection of IAIP of the stifle was 78%.

Antebrachial conformation in Cocker Spaniels with and without humeral intracondylar fissure

An increase in both PRUDA and UCORA was significantly associated with the presence of HIF.

A generic precurved interlocking nail is more compatible with femoral and tibial morphology than a straight nail in dogs

full-length ILN with a radius of curvature between 750 and 806 mm would fit 87% of the studied bones.

Measurement of ground reaction forces in cats after total hip replacement

This was the first study that measured GRFs in cats after THR.

Biomechanical analysis of orthogonal and unilateral locking plate constructs in a fracture gap model

OP constructs were stronger and stiffer than UP under dynamic and static axial compression.

Breakage of cementless press-fit femoral stems following total hip arthroplasty in dogs: 14 cases (2013–2023)

Most of the stems that broke were BFX lateral bolt stems and were undersized.
