The results of the present study are highly relevant to ACLR pathogenesis, and identify potential drug targets for medical treatment.

Chondroid metaplasia of the CCL is an adaptation to abnormal mechanics within the stifle joint caused by altered bone morphology.

Synthetic osteochondral implantation in the caudocentral aspect of the humeral head appeared technically feasible and effective in resolving lameness caused by humeral head osteochondritis dissecans.

We determined that the best predictive model for development of complete CR in PRP-collagen treated partial CR stifles included variables from multiple diagnostic modalities.

Despite the total bone ossification within the expected period, there was no minimization of the estimated recovery time with the application of MSC, and inflammatory factors should be considered for reassessment of the therapeutic intervention time.

Therefore, intradiscal NCM injection could be a promising regenerative treatment for IVD disease, circumventing the cumbersome identification of bioactive NC-secreted substances.

Annulus injury-induced DDD leads to acute and progressive changes to the morphology and densitometry of bone in the adjacent vertebral bodies and endplates.

The protocol reported here may be used as a guide in clinics seeking to reduce their IAI rates after TPLO

Fracture fixation stability is compromised by an open screw hole directly over a fracture gap compared to the open screw hole being buttressed by bone in the model studied.

The hypothesis (a nonabsorbable braided suture tape would be biocompatible in the knee with no resultant adverse functional consequences) was accepted as study results support the biocompatibility of suture tape in the canine knee.
