Assessment of two augmentation techniques on the mechanical properties of titanium cannulated bone screws

In vivo studies are necessary before this augmentation technique can be recommended for clinical patients.

A Cadaveric Evaluation of Pin and Tension Band Configuration Strength for Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy Fixation

The use of vertically aligned pins versus horizontally aligned pins does not affect construct strength.

Elbow Arthrodesis Using a Medially Positioned Plate in 6 Dogs

The cases in this series had acceptable outcomes despite a high risk of complications.

Long-term arthroscopic assessment of intra-articular allografts for treatment of spontaneous cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the dog

These results preclude immediate clinical application.

Preliminary evaluation of an osteochondral autograft, a prosthetic implant, and a biphasic absorbable implant for osteochondral reconstruction in a sheep model

Biphasic constructs may provide an alternative treatment for osteochondral defects.

Predictors of comorbidities and mortality in cats with pelvic fractures

Comorbidities may be associated with mortality.

Evaluation of prognostic factors for return of urinary and defecatory function in cats with sacrocaudal luxation

Neurological grade is the most important prognostic indicator for cats with sacrocaudal luxation.

Agreement of surgeon's perception of the effectiveness of spinal cord decompression with findings on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging for dogs surgically treated for intervertebral disk extrusion

The surgeon's perception of adequate decompression may be less reliable than postoperative MRI findings.

Biomechanical comparison of knotted and knotless stabilization techniques of the tarsal medial collateral ligament in cats: A cadaveric study

Feline tarsal stabilization with the knotless technique may reduce the requirement for or duration of postoperative coaptation.
