This study was performed to report etiology, clinical presentation, and outcome of mandibular fractures in immature dogs treated with non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques. Immature dogs diagnosed with mandibular fractures from 2001 to 2016 were included in this study. Diagnosis of the...

Background: Fracture of long bones is a common orthopaedic condition noticed in dogs and its primary goal is to completely restore the function of the injured limb as early as possible. Osteo-conductivity of hydroxyapatite can be improved further by decreasing the particle size to nanometre range...

Treatment of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma in dogs often requires a multidisciplinary approach and a thorough understanding of the CMF anatomical structures involved. This retrospective study aimed to utilize computed tomography (CT) studies of immature dogs evaluated for CMF trauma and to...

Objective: The aim of this study was to document application of locking plates for stabilization of acetabular fractures along with complications and clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that complications and clinical outcomes would be comparable to historical reports using non-locking plate and...

Practical relevance: The femur is the most commonly fractured bone in cats. Femoral fractures usually result from high-velocity trauma such as a road traffic accident or fall from a height and, as such, are associated with a wide variety of concurrent injuries. The initial focus of treatment should ...

The aim of this work was to identify and evaluate physiological and biomechanical factors that affect healing in cases of canine antebrachium fractures. The results and conclusions of the analysis: antebrachium fractures are most common among young canines (1-5 year of age) (56%). Research showed...

Blood perfusion of skeletal muscle and callus was evaluated using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in a canine osteotomy model to determine the applicability of CEUS in the assessment of neovascularization during fracture healing and to compare the vascular signals on CEUS between external...

Bone healing is a complex process and in a successful reparation, results in a complete reconstruction of its former structure, function and resilience. The healing of large defects of long bones is often protracted and not always successful. Problems in healing are to be expected in 5-10% of all...

Bone healing is a complex mechanism and of great concern in large bone defects. Treatment remains challenging for bone defects as bone regeneration is required in large quantity and may be beyond the potential for self-healing. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique could be an effective approach ...

Objective The aim of this study was to report the surgical technique and outcomes of dogs with type V central tarsal bone (CTB) fractures stabilized with a bone plate applied to the medial aspect of the tarsus and metatarsus. Study Design This study was a retrospective review of dogs with type V...
