Outcomes and prognostic indicators in 59 paraplegic medium to large breed dogs with extensive epidural hemorrhage secondary to thoracolumbar disc extrusion

Dogs with DEEH can have severe postoperative complications.

Dorsal Atlantoaxial Ligament Hypertrophy as a Cause for Clinical Signs in Dogs with Dens Abnormalities

Soft tissue changes (specifically dorsal AA ligament hypertrophy) points out this instability.

Canine models of spine disorders

Best current evidence suggests that dogs share important anatomical, physiological, histological, and molecular components of spinal disorders in humans.

Accuracy of three-dimensionally printed animal-specific drill guides for implant placement in canine thoracic vertebrae: A cadaveric study

This technique might be immediately applicable to clinical cases requiring thoracic vertebral stabilization.

Accuracy and safety of three-dimensionally printed animal-specific drill guides for thoracolumbar vertebral column instrumentation in dogs: Bilateral and unilateral designs

A unilateral drill guide design may be a safe alternative to bilateral guides.

Thoracic vertebral canal stenosis in cats: clinical features, diagnostic imaging findings, treatment and outcome

TVCS should be considered a differential diagnosis in middle-aged to older cats presenting with a chronic T3-L3 myelopathy.

Thoracic Vertebral Canal Stenosis Associated with Vertebral Arch Anomalies in Small Brachycephalic Screw-Tail Dog Breeds

Not all stenoses are clinically relevant.

Comparison of the biomechanical performance of a customized unilateral locking compression plate with and without an intervertebral spacer applied to the first and second lumbar vertebrae after intervertebral diskectomy in canine cadaveric specimens

Findings did not support the use of this customized unilateral intervertebral anchored fusion device.

Biomechanical comparison of ex vivo lumbar vertebral fracture luxations stabilized with tension band or polymethylmethacrylate in cats

Tension band stabilization provided stability comparable to SP in flexion.

Outcomes of dogs with progressive myelomalacia treated with hemilaminectomy or with extensive hemilaminectomy and durotomy

This study provides evidence that supports treatment with EHLD in dogs with PMM.
