Fracture Fixation and Implants

Both condylar lambda plates and trapezoid plates sustain expected physiologic bite forces.

Single-stage bilateral surgery is associated with markedly increased complication rates.

When performed by experienced surgeons, FHD is accurate and safe.

Calcaneal fractures in cats are rare and surgically challenging, particularly in skeletally immature animals.

Locking plate-rod configuration exhibited greater deformation.

Rigid femoral fixation remains a valid approach for canine limb press models.

Temporary transarticular stabilisation with a locking plate provided adequate temporary immobilisation of the joint.

This method provides stable fixation with minimal specific complications.

This study found no evidence to suggest that either plate or pin epicondylar fixation is superior in French bulldogs.

Revision surgery is often required, and a good outcome can be expected.
