The pin and Nitinol bone staple construct provides a biomechanically superior alternative, warranting further clinical investigation

Results support the use of curvature radii as measures of humeroulnar congruity in mediolateral flexed elbow radiograph

Eighteen percent of cases progressed to fracture and 24% in total required surgery

A role for mineral imbalance including copper, sulphur and zinc in the aetiopathogenesis of canine MCPD is suggested.

Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and elbow dysplasia (ED) impact the health and welfare of all dogs. The first formally organized assessment scheme to improve canine health centered on reducing the prevalence of these orthopedic disorders.
