Cementoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that consists of injecting a bone substitute into the tumor lesion to provide bone reinforcement and alleviate pain. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of cementoplasty with a calcium phosphate cement in osteosarcoma to reduce pain and preserve limb function. Throughout the 6-month study, dogs received no adjuvant therapy, and dogs' evaluations included a clinical examination, monitoring of postoperative complications, radiographic follow-up, and assessment of limb function and pain scores.

- The study analyzed the presence of supinator sesamoid bones (SSB) in dogs using radiography and CT scans, involving 100 dogs observed by three evaluators.
- The findings showed that SSBs were identified in 8.33% of dogs on radiographs and 26% on CT, with a significantly higher detection rate and stronger interobserver agreement for CT scans.
- A weak correlation between the presence of SSBs and elbow diseases was noted, indicating the need for more research to understand their potential link.
Objective: To (1) assess the canine elbow joint using a high frequency transducer (18 MHz); (2) describe the echogenicity and echo texture of the joint; and (3) correlate the ultrasonographic images with transparent plastinated anatomic sections.
Design: Descriptive study.
Sample Population: German Shepherd cross-breed dogs (cadavers, n = 10; live dogs, n = 5).
