Thrombin Generation Assay and Hemostatic Profile for Elucidating Hypercoagulability in Endogenous Canine Hyperadrenocorticism.

Canine hyperadrenocorticism is a common endocrine disorder caused by chronic secretion of glucocorticoid, often associated with hypercoagulability and secondary thrombosis. The thrombin generation assay (TGA) evaluates hemostasis globally by measuring endogenous thrombin potential. We aimed to determine whether TGA is suitable for assessing hypercoagulability in dogs with endogenous hyperadrenocorticism (HAC), and to correlate TGA with coagulation markers including fibrinogen, antithrombin (AT), D-dimer, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and with routine laboratory tests for elucidating prothrombotic mechanisms and evaluating their utility as hypercoagulability screening tests.

Giant Cell Tumor with Fracture of the Proximal Radius - Reconstructive Surgery with Radius Allograft.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a locally aggressive benign neoplasm that accounts for 4-10% of all primary bone tumors. It affects mostly young adults and occurs more frequently at the bones around the knee followed by the distal radius and the sacrum. Surgical treatment with curettage is the optimal treatment for local tumor control, but it can be associated to suboptimal functional outcome when located in periarticular regions.

Non-union after Fracture of the Anterior Tibial Spine in a 6-Year-old Child: A Case Report.

Introduction: Fractures of the tibial spines occur in 3/100,000 children per year and are rare in children under 8 years. Non-union after avulsion fracture of the tibial spine is even rarer, especially under 8 years, with only few cases described in the literature.

Case Presentation: A 6-year-old boy with went to the emergency department after suffering trauma in his left knee.

Deep Flexor Tendon Entrapment in a Diaphyseal Fracture of the Proximal Phalanx - A Case Report.

Introduction: The proximal phalanx fracture is a common fracture of the hand in pediatric ages. Most of these fractures can be treated conservatively with immobilization. There are only few cases reporting tendon entrapment in literature and most of them refer to epiphyseal fractures with only one case reporting tendon entrapment after diaphyseal fracture.

Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Closing Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Introduction: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an adequate procedure for the treatment of medial unicompartmental knee arthritis in the varus knee. It is technically demanding and has a significant complication rate. Although rare, vascular injury is potentially the most serious complication.
