Objective: To assess the feasibility and mechanical stability of sacroiliac (SI) joint stabilization using 2 short 3.5 mm cortical screws, each spanning an average of 23% of the width of the sacral body. Study design: Cadaveric experimental study. Sample population: Twenty-four canine pelvis...

Objective: To compare the axial biomechanical properties of intracondylar humeral osteotomies fixed with 4.5 mm transcondylar positional or cortical lag screws. Study design Ex vivo study. Sample population Paired humeri from 21 canine cadavers. Materials and methods An intracondylar osteotomy was...

Objective: To report the surgical management, complications, and short-term outcomes for dogs with humeral Y-T fractures (ie, fractures affecting the medial and lateral aspect of the humeral condyle extending from the articular surface) that had been approached bilaterally (medial and lateral) and...

Objective: To compare the biomechanical properties of simulated humeral condylar fractures reduced with one of two screw fixation methods: 3.0 mm headless compression screw (HCS) or 3.5 mm cortical bone screw (CBS) placed in lag fashion. Methods: Bilateral humeri were collected from nine canine...

Objective: To determine the influence of interlocking screw threads on the biomechanical properties of repaired canine humeral condylar fractures. Study Design: Ex vivo biomechanical study. Sample Population: Thirty-six humeral condyles. Methods: Simulated fractures of the lateral aspect of the...

A male dog was presented with complete lameness of right hind limb. Survey radiographs confirmed for calcaneal fracture. A calcaneal fracture at its base with subluxation of hock joint was repaired using a lag screw application and pantarsal arthrodesis with a reconstruction plate was performed.

Objective: To describe a novel Sacroiliac Luxation Instrument System (SILIS^TM) and its application in minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO) of sacroiliac luxations/fractures (SIL/F). The SILIS was designed to provide stable SIL/F reduction and accurate sacral screw placement while reducing...

Humeral fractures are challenging injuries to deal with. Thorough patient assessment is necessary on presentation, to evaluate for concurrent injuries and to rule out pathologic fractures. External coaptation is not considered a viable treatment option for the vast majority of humeral fractures and ...

Objective: To report the prevalence, configuration, risk factors, fixation methods and outcomes after repair of humeral condylar fractures (HCF) in dogs. Study design: Retrospective nested cohort study. Sample population: One hundred twelve dogs. Methods: Medical records of dogs referred between...

Objective - To evaluate outcome by radiographic assessment after closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation in lag fashion of sacroiliac fracture-luxations in dogs. Study Design - Retrospective study. Animals - Dogs (n=24) with sacroiliac fracture-luxations. Methods - Medical records...
