Management of Feline Femoral, Tibial and Humeral Fractures Using a 3.5 mm Titanium Interlocking Nail.

Objective:  Our objectives were to report complications associated with stabilization of long-bone fractures in cats using a 3.5-mm titanium interlocking nail and to examine the influences of signalment, fracture type and fixation evaluations on the occurrence of complications.

Study Design:  Retrospective clinical study.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of Intra-Articular Structures in the Canine Stifle Joint after Implantation of a Titanium Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy Plate.

Objectives:  To determine the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of anatomical stifle structures with respect to implant positioning after tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) using a titanium plate.

Methods:  Selected sagittal and dorsal sequences of pre- and postoperative MRI (1.0 T scanner) of 13 paired ( = 26) sound cadaveric stifle joints were evaluated.

Accuracy of ultrasonography in detecting fragmentation of the medial coronoid process in dogs.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of ultrasonography in detecting fragmentation of the medial coronoid process (FMCP) in dogs.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Animals: 102 dogs (112 elbow joints) suspected to have FMCP.
