Intra-articular transplantation of porcine adipose-derived stem cells for the treatment of canine osteoarthritis: A pilot study

Xenotransplantation of ADSCs for the treatment of OA is feasible. Further studies are needed to validate this novel treatment modality, which can then be implemented for the routine treatment of OA in veterinary medicine

Prospective, randomized comparison of the effect of two antimicrobial regimes on surgical site infection rate in dogs undergoing orthopedic implant surgery.

Surgical site infection rate were similar in a population of dogs where antimicrobial prophylaxis was administered perioperatively over 3 hours or as a course continued for 6 days

Retrospective evaluation of the efficacy of isolating bacteria from synovial fluid in dogs with suspected septic arthritis

Culture of synovial fluid from dogs with suspected septic arthritis has a low yield, necessitating a more effective means of identifying bacteria from suspected septic joints in dogs

Is there an association between clinical features, response to diagnostic analgesia and radiological findings in horses with a magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of navicular disease or other injuries of the podotrochlear apparatus?

Overall radiological scores of the navicular bone did not accurately predict navicular bone pathology.

Effect of locally injected autologous platelet-rich plasma on second intention wound healing of acute full-thickness skin defects in dogs

Locally injected autologous PRP increases tissue perfusion and may promote the formation of organized collagen bundles in acute full-thickness skin defects in dogs

Reconstruction of chronic triceps tendon avulsion using synthetic mesh graft in a dog

A degradable porous polyurethane urea onlay mesh graft was successfully used in a two-year-old dog after traumatic injury

Regenerating mandibular bone using rhBMP-2: Part 1 - Immediate reconstruction of segmental mandibulectomies

Internal fixation and compression resistant matrix infused with rhBMP-2 were an excellent solution in 4 dogs

Radiographic and computed tomographic assessment of the development of the antebrachia and elbow joints in Labrador Retrievers with and without medial coronoid disease

Development of the condition was not related to any disturbance in the development of the antebrachia and elbow joints during the rapid growth phase in 14 Labrador Retrievers

Radiographic distortion artifact of circular external fixators

The circular external fixator should be placed in the center of, and parallel to, the primary X-ray beam and as close to the table as possible

Outcome of medial patellar ligament desmoplasty for treatment of intermittent upward fixation of the patella in 24 horses (2005-2012)

Recurrence was noted in 33% of cases. Satisfaction with the procedure was generally low, with only 50% of owners being completely satisfied.
