Successful cementless cup reimplantation using cortical bone graft augmentation after an acetabular fracture and cup displacement.

Objective: To report repair of a periprosthetic acetabular fracture with concurrent component displacement after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Study Design: Clinical case report.

Animals: Dog (n=1) with an acetabular fracture after THA.

Effects of zoledronate on markers of bone metabolism and subchondral bone mineral density in dogs with experimentally induced cruciate-deficient osteoarthritis.

Objective: To evaluate effects of zoledronate on markers of bone metabolism in dogs after transection of the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL).

Animals: 21 adult dogs.

Procedure: Unilateral CrCL transection was performed arthroscopically.

Hip luxation in a woodchuck (Marmota monax): successful treatment by closed reduction and a modified Ehmer sling.

An elastic tape sling successfully maintained reduction of a craniodorsal right coxofemoral luxation in a woodchuck (Marmota monax). No complications were encountered during the 14 days that the sling was in place. The animal remained normal through the following 8 mo.

Traumatic subarachnoid-pleural fistula in a dog.

Subarachnoid-pleural fistula is a rare occurrence in humans as a result of trauma or spinal surgery. Such fistulas commonly remain undiagnosed until sufficient cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the pleural space to cause respiratory distress. We describe a subarachnoid-pleural fistula in a dog that occurred subsequent to blunt trauma sustained during a fall, with concurrent acute, traumatic intervertebral disc rupture.
