Background: This study is a retrospective review of the demography, management, complications and outcomes of canine physeal fractures. Methods: Clinical records were reviewed for dogs with appendicular physeal fractures, and descriptive statistical analysis was applied to the data set. Results:...

Canine humeral lateral condyle fracture is a clinically common humeral fracture of the distal humerus. Its incidence rate is second to the supracondylar fracture of the humerus. High incidence is observed in young dogs, and there are no differences in incidence among different canine species. In...

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...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an induced incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) lesion on ex vivo canine humeral condylar biomechanics. Study Design: Nine paired cadaveric elbows were collected from mature dogs weighing between 20 and 25 kg. Left...

In this case report, the clinical and radiographic results of the treatment of Salter Harris Type II fracture in the left humerus of an 1 year old female and crossbred dog with parallel pin technique was evaluated. The dog with complaining of lameness was brought to Siirt University, Faculty of...

Long bone fractures play an important role in the clinical-surgical routine of veterinary medicine, given the frequency in which they occur, and the need for reparative orthopedic interventions is clear. Growth plates are considered less resistant than the surrounding structures, such as bones and...

The study included 6 different types of humerus shaft fractures managed by end-threaded intramedullary positive profile screw ended selftapping pin. End-threaded Steinmann pin provided good fracture reduction as well as fracture fixation in humerus shaft fracture due to its better engagement of...

The occurrence of fractures is common in dogs and cats, especially those caused by being run over. Therefore, a retrospective study of dogs and cats attended between April 2013 and April 2020 at the Veterinary Hospital of the Regional University of the Northwest of the State of Rio Grande do Sul...

The aim of this study was to perform the "tie-in" osteosynthesis technique using an intramedullary threaded pin for the treatment of diaphyseal humerus, tibia, and femur fractures in dogs, thus minimizing rotational movements and strengthening stabilization, particularly in distal diaphyseal ...

Objectives: Retrospectively review the demography, management, complications and outcomes of canine physeal fractures. Methods: Clinical records from 2010-2020 were reviewed for dogs with appendicular physeal fractures with radiographic studies. Those with follow-up visits were stratified to the...
