Total Elbow Replacement in Swine: Surgical Technique and Initial Clinical Experience in a Kunekune Sow.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to describe the development of a total elbow replacement (TER) technique in swine and report the outcome of TER in a Kunekune sow (61 kg) with severe elbow osteoarthritis.

Methods:  The technique was developed by operating on three pig cadavers (Yorkshire 40-50 kg). The TATE Elbow implant fit was confirmed with modeling to the patient's computed tomography imaging.

Revision of Hip Luxation in a Canine Total Hip Replacement Caused by a Greater Trochanteric Fracture Secondary to an Inflammatory Granuloma.

A hip luxation 3 years following a cementless total hip replacement was diagnosed in a 4.7-year-old neutered male Lagotto Romagnolo that presented with a non-weight-bearing left pelvic limb lameness. Orthogonal radiographs revealed a left hip luxation and an osteolytic fracture of the greater trochanter.

A lateral approach allows accurate and stable total elbow replacement in dogs.

Objective: Evaluate whether total elbow replacement (TER) through a lateral approach is accurate and stable.

Animals: 12 skeletally mature large-breed dog cadavers were used.

Methods: Limb alignment, elbow joint motion, and collateral ligament laxity were evaluated preoperatively.

Closed reduction and fluoroscopic-guided percutaneous pinning of femoral capital physeal or neck fractures: Thirteen fractures in 11 dogs.

Objectives: To report the short-term clinical outcome and complications in dogs that underwent surgical repair of femoral capital physeal or neck fractures via fluoroscopic-guided percutaneous pinning (FGPP).

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Client owned dogs (n = 11) with femoral capital physeal or neck fractures (n = 13).
