Fracture Fixation and Implants

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

The addition of LHI to a 3.5-mm broad LCP construct was not shown to have an effect on plate strain, stiffness, or deformation.

The TPA of dogs with SH-1 and SH-2 fractures of the proximal tibial physis decreased in the reevaluation interim following repair with K-wires with or without a tension band.

Flexure formula for a uniform beam is not directly applicable to our composite constructs, as discussed.

Over the last decade, there has been extensive discussion within the veterinary community about the relationship between strain and working length.

Objective: To assess the impact of a postoperative fracture gap on implant failure following radius and ulna fracture repair in toy breed dogs.

Feline sacroiliac luxation can be stabilized using two sacroiliac screws.

Medical records of radial-ulnar fracture cases in small dogs treated with plates and screws were reviewed.

Results demonstrated complete functional recovery and 100% clinical union rates in all patients.

The UHFs repaired by transcondylar cannulated screws had acceptable outcomes.
