Fracture Fixation and Implants

To compare the stiffness and strength of three plate and rod fixation constructs applied to a feline tibial gap model.
SOP plates are easy to contour and to apply along the entire pelvic length.
Unrecognised pathological processes of the talus could predispose to the development of fractures.
Excellent outcomes can be achieved following the repair of coccygeal vertebral fractures in dogs using internal fixation.
Surgeons should feel confident using the Form 3B printer to create patient surgical guides.
Locking plates are associated with implant failure if plate bending stiffness is not sufficient
The combination of circumferential and figure-of-eight techniques with FiberWire is more resistant to displacement.
