Impact of postoperative radiography on the management of humeral condylar fractures in immature dogs.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of postoperative radiographs on treatment decisions for skeletally immature dogs undergoing repair of a fractured humeral condyle.

Study Design: Retrospective observational multicenter study.

Sample Population: A total of 139 dogs (<12 months of age).

Diagnostic accuracy of radiographs for the diagnosis of humeral intracondylar fissure in dogs.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of radiographs in identifying humeral intracondylar fissures in dogs.

Materials And Methods: Clinical data from dogs undergoing CT and radiographic elbow investigations at a single institution were reviewed. Based on CT diagnosis, radiographs were classified as having fissures and not having fissures.

Influence of oblique proximal ulnar osteotomy on humeral intracondylar fissures in 35 spaniel breed dogs.

Objective: To investigate the effects of oblique proximal ulnar osteotomy (PUO) on the healing of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) in spaniel breed dogs.

Study Design: Clinical retrospective study.

Sample Population: A total of 51 elbows from 35 spaniel dogs.

Lower body weight and increasing age are significant risk factors for complications following bi-oblique proximal ulnar osteotomy in dogs.

Objective: To report and evaluate the risk factors for complications following bi-oblique proximal ulnar osteotomy (PUO) in dogs.

Animals: 82 client-owned dogs (93 limbs).

Methods: Clinical records of dogs treated with bi-oblique PUO over a 5-year period were reviewed.
