Article Synopsis
- Limb-sparing surgery for distal radial osteosarcoma in dogs often leads to complications, but using personalized 3D-printed implants could enhance outcomes.
- A pilot study involved five client-owned dogs where CT scans were used to create customized endoprostheses, and intra-arterial carboplatin was introduced for clinical management.
- Results showed good to excellent fit for the implants, no excessive tumor growth before surgery, and all dogs experienced at least one complication, with survival times ranging from 192 to over 575 days.
Objective: To determine the influence of surgical site infection (SSI) on the median disease-free interval (DFI) and median survival time (MST) in dogs after amputation in the curative-intent treatment of appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA).
Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective cohort study.
Animals: Fifteen dogs with OSA and SSI, and 134 dogs with OSA and no SSI.
