Fracture of the greater trochanter of the femur in 17 cats: imaging, clinical features and concurrent injuries

Specific outcomes of greater trochanteric fractures are uncertain because of the high occurrence of concurrent orthopaedic injuries.

Proximal femoral fixation method and axial load affect simulated muscle forces in an ex vivo feline limb press

Retaining hip flexion-extension yields normalized quadriceps forces closer to in vivo values and could improve current ex vivo models.

Accuracy of a table-bound reduction and drill guide system for minimally invasive sacroiliac screw placement in cats

The described technique and equipment allow placement of iliosacral screws in cats with repeatable accuracy.

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.

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.

Short-term complications of internal versus external fixation of closed diaphyseal tibial fractures in 95 skeletally immature dogs

Surgeons should consider the use of IF over ESF for skeletally immature dogs to reduce the risk of major complications.

Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of 1.5-mm Locking Plate Fixation for 30 Radial and Ulnar Fractures in Dogs

1.5-mm locking plates provided effective fixation for radial and ulnar fractures.
