Fracture Fixation and Implants

Immunologic changes observed in FH appear to be modified by certain reaming techniques.

All three fixation systems were successful in healing a wide variety of humeral diaphyseal fractures.

Surgical stabilisation resulted in resolution of visible lameness.

The use of a smoke evacuator decreased particle concentrations 56.4% during the approach to the proximal tibia.

The stabilisation of humeral condylar fractures with transcondylar screw/epicondylar locking plates led comparable outcomes and complication rates to previous reports.

The most common fixation method was internal fixation.

Fracture of the distal femoral physis was the most common physeal fracture seen.

36 weeks after initial surgery, the dog had returned to normal function.

Pes varus deformity can be corrected by wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia stabilised by HES.

Femoral endoprosthesis and a TKR prosthesis can be a viable alternative for distal femoral limb salvage in cats.
