Computed Tomography Topographical Analysis of Incomplete Humeral Intracondylar Fissures in English Springer Spaniel Dogs.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to use computed tomography (CT) images obtained from English springer spaniels (ESS) with different sizes of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) to describe the typical shape, origin and a possible propagation pattern of HIF in this breed.

Study Design:  It is a retrospective analysis of 32 elbow CT from 27 ESS with incomplete HIF. Measurements included HIF articular surface length, centre of HIF at articular surface relative to the caudal edge of the supratrochlear foramen (CHIF), HIF depth and sagittal area of fissure.

The value of routine radiographic follow up in the postoperative management of canine medial patellar luxation.

Objective: To determine the influence of radiographic examination on the recommendations made at the time of planned re-evaluation of dogs after medial patellar luxation (MPL) surgery.

Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional case series.

Animals: Client-owned dogs (N = 825) that underwent MPL surgery.
