Objective: To measure truncated face and open face versions of the biological fixation (BFX) cup in a three-dimensional (3D) model simulating the ventrodorsal radiographic projection with different cup and pelvis positions.

Study Design: Computer simulation.

Methods: Simulated ventrodorsal views were generated in silico using 3D models of a BFX cup and a medium-sized canine pelvis.

A 1-year-old Bernese Mountain dog presented with an acute onset of left thoracic limb lameness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the left shoulder was performed, showing a subchondral bone defect in the caudomedial aspect of the humeral head. In addition, several round hypointense structures were visible in the biceps tendon sheath.

Objective: To report ventral acetabular augmentation with an internal fixator for management of caudoventral luxation following total hip replacement in dogs and to report clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Clinical records from three UK-based referral hospitals were reviewed retrospectively between 2010 and 2020 to identify dogs with caudoventral hip luxation managed by ventral acetabular augmentation. Hip prosthesis component orientation was radiographically assessed to identify potential risk factors associated with the luxation.

Article Synopsis
  • * A retrospective review identified six dogs with these fractures, all linked to exercise rather than trauma, and all had additional tarsal fractures; follow-up showed good recovery and minimal complications.
  • * The conclusion was that medial bone plate stabilization was effective in promoting fracture healing and had a low complication rate, with high owner satisfaction regarding the surgical outcomes.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of three-dimensional printed patient-specific drill guides (3D-PDG) as treatment of humeral intracondylar fissures (HIF) in dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Animals: Client-owned dogs with HIF treated with a 5-mm transcondylar screw (TCS) placed from medial to lateral with a 3D-PDG.
