Combined figure-of-eight and circumferential wires may be useful for treatment of transverse feline patellar fracture

Asymmetrical hip conformation may be the sequela of a LTV and mask or aggravate genetically induced canine hip dysplasia

Imaging signs of neural compression are common after DLSS surgery, even in dogs that have clinical improvement

Single-session bilateral surgery is a feasible treatment option with a complication rate comparable to staged bilateral or unilateral medial patellar luxation surgery

The use of two force plate systems will minimize variance caused by trial repetition and paired limb variation

Jig selection and osteotomy type may lead to different post-correctional alignment results when performing distal femoral osteotomies

Complication rates comparable to those recorded in larger breeds and to other techniques and a high degree of owner satisfaction

OBJECTIVES: A very limited safe anatomical window for transiliosacral implant placement exists in cats (<0·5 cm 2 ). Lag screw fixation requires multiple bilateral implants thus increasing the risk of iatrogenic trauma and implant interference. We describe a safe and effective method for bilateral sacroiliac fixation in cats using a single implant to minimise inadvertent iatrogenic damage to local structures and restore pelvic canal diameter.

A two, three-point injection methods may be an effective perioperative analgesia technique for feline distal pelvic limb procedures

The use of LLLT may improve postoperative return to function following canine osteotomies
