Complications and outcomes of total hip arthroplasty in dogs with luxoid hip dysplasia: 18 cases (2010-2022).

Objective: To describe the complications and outcomes in dogs with luxoid hip dysplasia (LH) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and compare complication rates with THA in non-LH dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Sample Population: Client-owned dogs (n = 217) undergoing primary THA (n = 238).

Laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted cystopexy for pelvic bladder in 3 dogs.

The techniques and clinical outcomes of laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted cystopexy in 3 dogs diagnosed with pelvic bladder are reported herein. The medical records of 2 dogs with pelvic bladder which underwent laparoscopic cystopexy, and 1 dog which underwent laparoscopic-assisted cystopexy were reviewed. Data retrieved included signalment, clinical signs, diagnostic imaging, surgical technique, and clinical outcome.

Serum acute-phase protein concentrations following uncomplicated total hip arthroplasty in dogs.

Objectives: To establish preoperative and postoperative serum C reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) levels in dogs undergoing uncomplicated total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Study Design: Prospective clinical trial.

Animals: Eighteen client-owned dogs.

Proximal femoral deformity correction and total hip arthroplasty in a dog using 3D printed custom guides.

Objective: To report the successful correction of a proximal femoral deformity (PFD) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a dog with the use of three-dimensionally (3D) printed custom surgical guides (CSGs).

Study Design: Case report.

Animals: One-year-old, male neutered, Goldendoodle.

Prospective evaluation of lymphatic embolization as part of the treatment in dogs with presumptive idiopathic chylothorax.

Objective: To describe the embolization technique and short-term clinical outcome in dogs undergoing lymphatic embolization (LE) as part of treatment for presumptive idiopathic chylothorax (IC). Additionally, to document findings in computed tomography lymphangiography (CTLa) following embolization.

Study Design: Prospective case series.

Feasibility of laparoscopic liver lobectomy in dogs.

Objective: To determine the feasibility of laparoscopic liver lobectomy (LLL) in dogs by using canine cadavers and to describe the clinical application in dogs with liver disease.

Study Design: Ex vivo experiment and descriptive case series.

Sample Population: Twelve canine cadavers and six client-owned dogs.

Anatomic and volumetric characterization of the cisterna chyli using CT lymphangiography and computer-assisted design software in dogs with idiopathic chylothorax.

The objectives of this retrospective, observational study were to characterize the anatomical features of the cisterna chyli (CC) in a cohort of dogs diagnosed with idiopathic chylothorax that underwent CT lymphangiography (CTLa), and to evaluate the feasibility of computer-assisted design (CAD) software to quantify volumetric measurements of the CC. Twenty-three client-owned dogs with idiopathic chylothorax were included. Additionally, CTLa was performed in three canine cadavers to assess the ability of CAD software to accurately acquire volumetric measurements.

Use of a cerclage cable-plate system to stabilize a periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement in a dog.

Objective: To report the successful use of cerclage cables around the periprosthetic region of a femoral fracture after total hip replacement (THR) in a dog with bone stock too limited for other methods of fixation.

Study Design: Case report.

Animal: 6-year-old male neutered, golden retriever.

Outcome in dogs with presumptive idiopathic pericardial effusion after thoracoscopic pericardectomy and pericardioscopy.

Objective: To report the outcome of dogs with presumptive echocardiographic idiopathic pericardial effusion treated with thoracoscopic pericardectomy and pericardioscopy.

Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective study (2011-2017).

Animals: Eighteen dogs.
