Impact of microwave ablation treatment on the biomechanical properties of the distal radius in the dog: A cadaveric study

Authors: Alexandra B Kalamaras, Vincent Wavreille, Stephen C Jones, Alan S Litsky, Laura Selmic

Objective: To determine whether microwave ablation (MWA) modifies the biomechanical properties of the normal distal radius in the dog to better estimate the clinical impact of MWA as a tool for the treatment of neoplastic bone lesions.

Study design: Biomechanical experimental study.

Sample population: Sixteen pairs of dog forelimbs from 16 canine cadavers.
