Long-term outcome of autologous fascia lata grafting with conjunctival flap overlay in horses with ulcerative keratitis and keratomalacia.

Objectives: To describe the technique, postoperative complications, and outcome after autologous fascia lata grafting with conjunctival flap overlay in horses with ulcerative keratitis and keratomalacia.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Eleven horses with ulcerative keratitis and keratomalacia.

Duration of action of mepivacaine and lidocaine in equine palmar digital perineural blocks in an experimental lameness model.

Objective: To establish and compare the onset and duration of action of 2 local anesthetics based on objective lameness and skin sensitivity assessment.

Study Design: Interventional crossover experimental trial with balanced randomization.

Animals: Eight horses.

In-vitro comparison of LC-DCP- and LCP-constructs in the femur of newborn calves - a pilot study.

Background: To compare the biomechanical in-vitro characteristics of limited-contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) and locking compression plate (LCP) constructs in an osteotomy gap model of femoral fracture in neonatal calves. Pairs of intact femurs from 10 calves that had died for reasons unrelated to the study were tested. A 7-hole LC-DCP with six 4.
