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.

Assessment of 3 detorsional planning techniques for distal femoral osteotomy to the distal femoral metaphysis in 3 dog breeds

The tested techniques were not reliable in chondrodystrophic dogs.

Inverted supracondylar femoral dynamic compression plates for revision of construct failure following tibial cranial closing wedge ostectomy in three dogs

The use of an inverted supracondylar plate in the proximal tibia generally had good outcomes.

Evaluation of 3D-printed patient-specific guides to facilitate fluoroscopic-assisted Kirschner wire stabilization of simulated capital physeal fractures in 3D-printed dog femur models

3DP patient-specific guides resulted in faster, simpler, and more accurate Kirschner wire placement.

Comparing the Accuracy of Patient-Specific Guide and Universal Guide for Distal Femoral Osteotomy in Dogs

Both the patient-specific and universal guides can produce accurate results in DFO surgery.

Total hip arthroplasty for femoral fractures other than capital physeal fractures in dogs: 14 cases (2012-2020)

Clinical outcomes were considered good to excellent in all dogs in the study.

Three-dimensionally printed osteotomy and reaming guides for correction of a multiplanar femoral deformity stabilized with an interlocking nail in a dog

Custom osteotomy and reaming guides facilitated complex femoral corrective osteotomies.

Stabilisation of femoral capital physeal fractures using transcervical pinning in cats: 19 cases (2014-2022)

In our study, transcervical pinning was found to be a reliable fixation method in cats with minimal preoperative femoral neck osteolysis.

Comparison of three radiographic assessment methods for detecting slipped capital femoral epiphyses in cats: Klein’s line, modified Klein’s line and the S-sign

The S-sign successfully detected SCFE in cats.

Use of a Modified Intramedullary Pinning Technique for Distal Femoral Physeal Salter–Harris Type I and II Fracture Management: A Retrospective Study of 31 Cats

This technique was associated with an full functional outcome.
