Biomechanical comparison of humeral condyles with experimental intracondylar fissures immobilized with a transcondylar positional or a lag screw: An ex-vivo study in dogs

A transcondylar lag screw and positional screw are not biomechanically equal.

Influence of Screw-Hole Defect Size on the Biomechanical Properties of Feline Femora in an Ex Vivo Model

Screw-hole defects up to 2.7 mm did not significantly reduce feline bone failure properties.

Infection rate treating radial and ulnar fractures using bone plate fixation without antibiotic prophylaxis

All patients had a good clinical outcome.

Evaluation of depth gauge accuracy in a canine tibial plateau leveling osteotomy model

Depth gauges lacked accuracy.

A Retrospective Study of Postoperative Development of Implant-Induced Osteoporosis in Radial-Ulnar Fractures in Toy Breed Dogs Treated with Plate Fixation

This study suggests that IIO occurs in small dogs treated with plates and screws.

A review of minimally invasive fracture stabilization in dogs and cats

MIO can yield excellent outcomes when applied in carefully selected cases.

Clinical outcomes of orthogonal plating to treat radial and ulnar fractures in toy-breed dogs

OP allowed the successful open reduction of radial and ulnar fractures.

A novel intramedullary nail to control interfragmentary motion in diaphyseal tibial fractures

The novel IMN allowed controlled axial motion between the fragments in a variety of common diaphyseal tibial fracture patterns.

Patellar fractures in cats: Repair techniques and treatment decision-making

The best method for managing patellar fractures is still an area where more research is needed.

Accuracy of medial-to-lateral transcondylar screw placement using an aiming device and preoperative computer tomography planning for the treatment of humeral intracondylar fissure

Use of CT planning and an aiming device allows accurate placement of transcondylar screws.
