Article Synopsis
- The study examined the clinical results of treating traumatic elbow luxations in cats using closed reduction and a temporary external skeletal fixator.
- Eight cats were analyzed, with most having lateral or medial elbow luxation, and only minor complications were reported; none had recurrence of the luxation.
- Overall, the treatment led to excellent outcomes, with normal elbow motion observed and a very low rate of complications, suggesting the method is safe and effective.
Unlabelled: Due to its easy preparation and that it is well tolerated, the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become increasingly popular in regenerative medicine. However, there are still no clear guidelines on how it should be classified or whether the individual canine patient's clinical status can influence its quality.
Objective: This study aims to show if the weight, age, sex, neutered status or breed of canine patients have any correlation with the composition of PRP.
Background: Adipose tissue has recently gained attention as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) for applications in treating degenerative joint disease in veterinary patients. This study aimed to quantify the stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) and colony forming units (CFU) of AdMSCs from the falciform and flank regions and compare dogs of different ages and weights.
Methods: Fat tissue was harvested from the flank (21 dogs) and falciform regions (17 dogs).
