Sensitivity and specificity of 3D models of the radioulnar joint cup in combination with a sphere fitted to the ulnar trochlear notch for estimation of radioulnar incongruence in vitro.

Objective: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of estimation of radioulnar incongruence (RUI) by use of 3-dimensional (3D) image renderings in combination with a sphere fitted to the ulnar trochlear notch.

Study Design: In vitro study.

Sample Population: Right forelimbs (n = 8) of canine cadavers weighing >20 kg.

Estimation of joint incongruence in dysplastic canine elbows before and after dynamic proximal ulnar osteotomy.

Objective: To characterize joint incongruence in dysplastic canine elbows before and after dynamic proximal ulnar osteotomy (DPUO).

Study Design: Clinical, prospective study.

Animals: Dogs (n = 10; 12 elbows) with ≥ 2 mm radioulnar incongruence (RUI), FCP, and/or OCD.

Development and in situ application of an adjustable aiming device to guide extra- to intraarticular tibial tunnel drilling for the insertion of the cranial cruciate ligament in dogs.

Objective: To develop and test an arthroscopic aiming device for extra- to intraarticular tibial tunnel drilling emerging at the center of the tibial insertion (CenterTib) of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in medium to large breed dogs.

Study Design: Descriptive experimental study.

Sample Population: Fifty-two cadaveric hind limbs of dogs >or=20 kg BW.

Value of low-field magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing meniscal tears in the canine stifle: a prospective study evaluating sensitivity and specificity in naturally occurring cranial cruciate ligament deficiency with arthroscopy as the gold standard.

Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of low-field magnetic resonance imaging (lfMRI) for detection of meniscal tears in the canine stifle.

Study Design: Double-blinded prospective clinical study.

Animals: Forty-two consecutive stifles of dogs (>or=20 kg; n=34) with clinical and radiologic signs suspicious for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) insufficiency.

Visual estimation of radioulnar incongruence in dogs using three-dimensional image rendering: an in vitro study based on computed tomographic imaging.

Objective: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of visual estimation of radioulnar incongruence (RUI) in the canine elbow by use of 3-dimensional (3D) image rendering.

Study Design: Experimentally induced negative and positive RUI.

Sample Population: Canine (>20 kg) cadaveric right thoracic limbs (n=8).
