Comparison of median sternotomy closure-related complication rates using orthopedic wire or suture in dogs: A multi-institutional observational treatment effect analysis.

Objective: To determine and compare median sternotomy (MS) closure-related complication rates using orthopedic wire or suture in dogs.

Study Design: Multi-institutional, retrospective observational study with treatment effect analysis.

Animals: 331 client-owned dogs, of which 68 were excluded.

Closure-related complications after median sternotomy in cats: 26 cases (2010-2020).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine closure-related complications and outcome after median sternotomy (MS) in cats.

Methods: This was a retrospective, multicentric study. The medical records of cats undergoing MS from six referral hospitals were reviewed (2010-2020).

[Long-term results of replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament in comparison with conservative therapy].

Between January 1980 and February 1987 92 patients (group I) with chronic anterior instability of the knee joint underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using midthird patellar tendon autografts (BTB). 39 patients (group II) with the same injury were treated conservatively. The patients were followed up postoperatively within a mean period of 8.

[Conservative therapy of forearm fracture in the growth stage with special reference to the correlation of roentgenologic course, objective and subjective total results].

143 out of 310 patients in the age of one to 18 years suffering from forearm-shaft-fractures could be followed up at the 2nd Department of Traumatology, University of Vienna, out of a period between 1978 and 1983. A correlation between radiologic follow-ups and objective/subjective findings was achieved by means of the WAMASTAT/SAS program at the Institute of Medical Computer Sciences. With the aid of computer diagrams of the angulation of fracture-dislocation awaited restrictions of movement can be anticipated.
