Objective: To report the successful treatment of septic nonunion in two dogs with large segmental defects secondary to long-bone fractures by using a novel human placenta-derived matrix (hPM) as adjunct to fixation. Animals. One 3-kg 9-year-old neutered male Yorkshire terrier with a distal...

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...

Objective: To evaluate a dowel pinning technique for metacarpal and metatarsal fractures in dogs. Material and methods: Medical records of 13 dogs with complete clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations after a median observation time of 5 months were evaluated retrospectively. Assessment...

Aim: The current study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of end-threaded intramedullary pinning for management of various long bone fractures in canines. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in two phases, managing 25 client-owned dogs presented with different fractures....

Objective: This article aims to evaluate clinical outcomes and complications of distal radial and ulnar fractures in miniature- and toy-breed dogs treated with conventional bone plate fixation. Methods: Medical records (2001-2010) of miniature- and toy-breed dogs with distal radial and ulnar ...

Background: Treatment methods for long bone fractures, spinal fractures and instabilities, joint instabilities and luxations have numerous options for external and internal fixations such as external skeletal fixator, (ESF), dynamic compression plate (DCP), limited contact dynamic compression plate ...

A retrospective study was conducted between January 2014 and September 2016 within Nairobi County, Kenya and its environs to determine the prevalence of appendicular bone fractures in household dogs. Dogs being popular companion animals worldwide, have led to an increased number of dogs being kept...

Objective: Our objectives were: (1) to review the complications associated with stabilization of appendicular fractures in cats and small dogs using locking compression plates (LCP), and (2) to identify factors that could influence fixation construct stability. Study design: Retrospective clinical...

Objective: To evaluate clinical outcome of dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA) treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and subsequent internal fixation of a pathologic fracture. Study Design: Retrospective case series. Animals: Dogs with spontaneous-occurring appendicular OSA (n=6)....

This case report describes a pinning fixation for the treatment of three tibial physeal fractures in a 3 months old mixed-breed dog. The radiographic study revealed the presence of a severely proximal dislocation of the tibial diaphysis along with multiple fractures of the proximal and distal...
