Article Synopsis
- Laser therapy is gaining popularity in veterinary medicine, yet there's limited evidence on its effectiveness and dosage.
- The study focused on twelve Dachshunds undergoing surgery for intervertebral disc disease, where incisions were photographed and scored for healing over 21 days.
- Results showed that dogs receiving laser therapy had significantly better incision healing and cosmetic outcomes compared to the control group.
Objectives: Various materials are used to construct splints for mid-diaphyseal tibial fracture stabilization. The objective of this study was to compare construct stiffness and inter-fragmentary bone motion when fibreglass (FG) or thermoplastic (TP) splints are applied to either the lateral or cranial aspect of the tibia in a mid-diaphyseal fracture model.
Methods: A coaptation bandage was applied to eight cadaveric canine pelvic limbs, with a custom-formed splint made of either FG or TP material applied to either the lateral or cranial aspect of the osteotomized tibia.
