Arthroscopic sampling, diagnosis and treatment of infected total hip replacements in dogs: Eight cases.

Objective: To describe the technique and long-term outcomes in a group of eight dogs undergoing arthroscopic debridement with implant retention or subsequent revision surgery for total hip replacement (THR) infection.

Study Design: Short case series.

Methods: Dogs underwent a THR procedure and subsequently developed signs consistent with a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).

Short-term outcomes of 43 dogs treated with arthroscopic suturing for meniscal tears associated with cranial cruciate ligament disease.

Objective: To describe short-term outcomes and complications in dogs receiving meniscal suturing and concurrent tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) with or without augmentation with an extracapsular suture.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Forty-three client-owned dogs submitted for cruciate ligament disease.

Ex vivo evaluation of arthroscopically assisted shoulder stabilization in dogs using an intra-articular aiming device.

Objective: To evaluate the use of an intra-articular aiming device (IAD) for medial shoulder stabilization with a suture-toggle repair or an interference screw repair using bone anchors in dogs.

Study Design: Ex-vivo Study METHODS: Specimens were randomly divided into 2 groups (anchor and suture-toggle) with 10 shoulders each. Abduction angles were measured by goniometry prior to and following medial glenerohumeral ligament transection and after receiving arthroscopically assisted stabilization with either bone anchors or suture-toggle constructs.
