Fracture Fixation and Implants

No difference in infection rates was detected between DLP, LP, or NLP for TPLO in these dogs weighing >50 kg.

Despite the limitations of a cadaveric study, the high number of complications is leading us to consider the humerus not safe for the TVS.

All three miniature locking plate systems provided adequate fracture stabilization 4 weeks after surgery, despite their differences, in rabbit models.

Significant barriers must be overcome before the techniques are likely to be more widely adopted.

Patients that developed tibial tuberosity fracture and were conservatively managed did not have a worse clinical outcome than patients that did not develop tibial tuberosity fracture.

Cases with comminution have a higher complication rate.

Repair of Y-T humeral fractures with LCP allowed for hybrid fixation and monocortical screw placement in distal fracture fragments.

This technique resulted in comparable complication and infection rates in canine PCA to previous published studies using hybrid dynamic compression plates.

This study does not provide evidence to support postoperative antibiotic therapy after TTA.

The free-form multiplanar type II ESF provides an alternative for minimally invasive fixation of distal RUF in miniature- and toy-breed dogs.
