Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and precision of using 3D-printed guides versus freehand methods for placing Kirschner wires in the femurs of dogs, focusing on novice versus experienced surgeons.!
- It involved creating 3D models of dog femurs, followed by virtual surgical planning, and then comparing the results of wire placements with freehand techniques and those guided by 3D-printed models.!
- Results indicated that 3D-printed guides led to quicker procedures, fewer complications, and better accuracy in wire placement, highlighting the need for further research in practical applications for surgeries in dogs.!
Intestinal ligation during ovariohysterectomy has not been previously reported in dogs. Risk factors for this complication appear to be the same as those for ureteral injury, namely decreased surgical visualization due to small patient size and small incision size. This case report describes how the presentation of intestinal ligation in a 2-kg, 11-month-old chihuahua can mimic that of iatrogenic ureteral injury with vomiting, anorexia, and severe azotemia.

Study Design: A prospective clinical study with a historic control cohort.
Sample Population: Dogs undergoing MIPO stabilization of diaphyseal tibial fractures using a custom 3D-printed reduction system (3D-MIPO; n = 15) or conventional indirect reduction techniques (c-MIPO; n = 14).
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed, patient-specific reduction system for aligning diaphyseal tibial fractures stabilized using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO).
Study Design: Prospective clinical trial.
Sample Population: Fifteen client owned dogs.
Objective: To describe the use of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and three-dimensionally (3D) printed surgical guides for corrective osteotomies stabilized with an interlocking nail in a dog with a multiplanar femoral deformity.
Study Design: Case report.
Animals: An 8-year-old male neutered mixed breed dog weighing 44 kg.
A 1.5-year-old male neutered, 5 kg, Dachshund was referred for anorexia and vomiting for several days' duration. Radiographs revealed concern for a small intestinal obstruction.

Study Design: Experimental cadaveric study.
Sample Population: Seven dog cadavers.
Objective: To assess the feasibility and accuracy of using 2 methods for reduction and alignment of simulated comminuted diaphyseal tibial fractures in conjunction with 3-D-printed patient-specific pin guides.
Sample: Paired pelvic limbs from 8 skeletally mature dogs weighing 20 to 35 kg.
Methods: CT images of both tibiae were obtained, and 3-D reconstructions of the tibiae were used to create proximal and distal patient-specific pin guides.
Article Synopsis
- The article reviews peer-reviewed studies on minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO) for treating fractures in dogs and cats, focusing on feasibility, outcomes, and complications from 2000 to 2020.
- Over 40 articles were analyzed, revealing that while MIO is generally feasible with low complication rates, it does not show better bone healing or functionality compared to standard methods.
- The authors conclude that MIO is a promising technique for fracture management, but randomized controlled studies are needed to establish its superiority over traditional methods.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an induced incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOHC) lesion on canine humeral condylar biomechanics.
Study Design: Nine paired cadaveric elbows were collected from mature dogs weighing between 20 and 25 kg. Left and right limbs were randomized to IOHC or normal groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how pericardial effusions (fluid around the heart) in dogs are managed, comparing conservative and surgical options for various causes.
- A systematic review of 641 articles found that most were case studies or retrospective series, with generally low quality evidence and inconsistent outcome measures.
- The conclusion highlights the need for better quality research, like randomized controlled trials, to determine the best treatment approach for pericardial effusion in dogs and improve comparability across studies.
Objective: To assess if injection of allogeneic dental pulp tissue particles would improve lameness in horses with naturally occurring osteoarthritis (OA) or soft tissue (ST) injury.
Design: Prospective, randomized, blinded, and controlled clinical trial and client survey assessment.
Animals: Forty lame client-owned horses.
