Fracture Fixation and Implants

Effects of simulated radioulnar synostosis on supination and pronation in cats. A cadaveric study

Induced radioulnar synostosis decreases antebrachial rotation by more than two-thirds.

Effect of an Orthogonal Locking Plate and Primary Plate Working Length on Construct Stiffness and Plate Strain in an In vitro Fracture-Gap Model

Single plate construct stiffness was significantly, incrementally, lower in four-point bending and torsion as working length was extended.

Humeral Condylar Fractures in French Bulldogs—Inciting Cause and Factors Influencing Complications of Internal Fixation in 136 Dogs

Fixation method was not found to significantly impact the complication rate.

The effects of tibial tuberosity avulsion and repair on tibial plateau angle in dogs

Based on this study, surgical repair is associated with a smaller TPA at skeletal maturity.

Stabilisation of femoral capital physeal fractures using transcervical pinning in cats: 19 cases (2014-2022)

In our study, transcervical pinning was found to be a reliable fixation method in cats with minimal preoperative femoral neck osteolysis.

Long-Term Outcome and Complications after Transcondylar Screw Placement for Canine Humeral Intracondylar Fissure

Transcondylar screw placement for HIF is associated with a low complication rate.

Assessment of Outcome of Arthroscopic Subtotal Coronoidectomy in Treating Medial Coronoid Disease and Effect of Concurrent Autologous Conditioned Plasma in Dogs Using Force Plate Analysis

Concurrent treatment with ACP, immediately after arthroscopy, did not improve outcome.

Indications for the removal of implants after fracture healing: A comparison between human and veterinary medicine

Decision-making processes are still controversial in some scenarios.

Biomechanical comparison of titanium alloy additively manufactured and conventionally manufactured plate-screw constructs

Additively manufactured titanium implants were more prone to failure.

Long-term outcomes of atrophic/oligotrophic non-unions in dogs and cats treated with autologous iliac corticocancellous bone graft and circular external skeletal fixation: 19 cases (2014-2021)

This technique was considered successful in the majority of patients.
