Fracture Fixation and Implants

The ring pin can be considered a viable option for fractures in dogs primarily requiring resistance to tensile forces.

Specific outcomes of greater trochanteric fractures are uncertain because of the high occurrence of concurrent orthopaedic injuries.

Retaining hip flexion-extension yields normalized quadriceps forces closer to in vivo values and could improve current ex vivo models.

The described technique and equipment allow placement of iliosacral screws in cats with repeatable accuracy.

The results do not corroborate several of the purported advantages ascribed to MIPO.

The overall accuracy of radiography for the detection of IAIP of the stifle was 78%.

An increase in both PRUDA and UCORA was significantly associated with the presence of HIF.

full-length ILN with a radius of curvature between 750 and 806 mm would fit 87% of the studied bones.

OP constructs were stronger and stiffer than UP under dynamic and static axial compression.

Surgeons should consider the use of IF over ESF for skeletally immature dogs to reduce the risk of major complications.
