Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how a gap in the bone after surgery affects the failure of implants in toy breed dogs with radius and ulna fractures, involving 80 dogs across multiple veterinary centers.
- Findings showed that dogs with a postoperative fracture gap in the caudal cortex had a significantly higher risk of implant failure compared to those without a gap (23 times more likely).
- The research emphasizes the importance of properly aligning the bone during surgery to enhance recovery and reduce the risk of implant issues in these small dogs.
