Fracture Fixation and Implants

The OrthoLineTM system is a promising alternative for fracture repair in dogs and cats.
Robotic assistance allows for more accurate overall drill hole trajectory.
Use of the I-Loc system was associated with positive results across a wide range of presentations.
The ring pin can be considered a viable option for fractures in dogs primarily requiring resistance to tensile forces.
Specific outcomes of greater trochanteric fractures are uncertain because of the high occurrence of concurrent orthopaedic injuries.
Retaining hip flexion-extension yields normalized quadriceps forces closer to in vivo values and could improve current ex vivo models.
