The objective of this study was to document the short- and medium-to-long-term outcomes and complication rates of Y-T humeral condylar fractures fixed using titanium polyaxial locking plate (T-PLP).

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize outcomes and complications of gunshot fracture management in small animals.
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants
Aims: To compare the mechanical performance and mode of failure in four-point bending of two different 2.0 mm "string of pearls" locking plates that differ in dimensions.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the use of computed tomography (CT) for postoperative evaluation of the accuracy of sacroiliac reduction and minimally invasive screw fixation in a series of five cats.
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the load at failure, stiffness and mode of failure between three types of tibial tuberosity transposition fixation techniques: (a) pin and figure-8 tension band wire (Pin-TBW), (b) locking plate with pin and a tension band wire (Plate-Pin-TBW) and (c) locking plate with a pin (Plate-Pin).

Objective: To determine the biomechanical behavior of different plate systems used for oblique ilial fracture fixation in cats.
Study design: Ex vivo biomechanical study.
Sample population: Fifty fresh-frozen feline hemipelvises.
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants
Objective: To biomechanically evaluate an ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UWMWPE) suture for temporary tarsocrural immobilization as a potential alternative to the existing surgical method, which uses a 4.5 AO/ASIF calcaneotibial cortical screw.
Study design: Randomized in vitro biomechanical study.
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants - Tarsus
Objective: To compare the biomechanical properties of atlantoaxial joints (AAJs) in canine vertebral column specimens stabilized with 4 techniques (dorsal wire, modified dorsal clamp, ventral transarticular pin, and augmented ventral transarticular pin fixation) after transection of the AAJ ligaments.
Sample: 13 skull and cranial vertebral column segments from 13 cadaveric toy-breed dogs.
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants - Stifle
Objective: The aim of this study was to report the functional outcome and complications following transcondylar screw and epicondylar plate fixation of skeletally mature dogs with fractures of the lateral aspect of the humeral condyle using a string of pearls, limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) or locking compression plate (LCP).
Category: Fracture Fixation and Implants
Case history: Medical records of dogs (n = 5) that had been treated for patellar fracture with transarticular external skeletal fixation (TA-ESF) to augment internal fixation, at a single referral hospital in the United Kingdom between 2015 and 2017, were reviewed.
