Detection of intra-articular implant penetration of the canine stifle with radiography: A cadaveric study.

Objective: To determine if intra-articular implant penetration (IAIP) could be detected with radiography when implants were placed at predetermined positions within the canine stifle.

Study Design: Experimental cadaveric study.

Sample Population: Five skeletally mature canine cadavers.

Feline radial and ulnar diaphyseal fractures: a retrospective study of 49 cases comparing single bone fixation and dual bone fixation.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to report the complications in radial and ulnar diaphyseal fractures in cats and to compare the differences in outcome between single and dual bone internal fixation.

Methods: Medical records between 2004 and 2022 were searched retrospectively for cats with antebrachial diaphyseal fractures treated with internal bone-plate fixation. In total, 49 cases were included from six referral hospitals, including one teaching hospital.

Transarticular facet screw stabilization and dorsal laminectomy in 26 dogs with degenerative lumbosacral stenosis with instability.

Objective: To describe outcome after transarticular facet screw stabilization and dorsal laminectomy for treatment of dynamic degenerative lumbosacral stenosis (DLS) in 26 dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Dogs (n = 26) with dynamic DLS.

Bicipital tenosynovitis in dogs.

Bicipital tenosynovitis is a common cause of forelimb lameness in dogs. It typically occurs in medium-sized or large, middle-aged or older animals. A history of chronic, progressive or intermittent, moderate to severe weight-bearing lameness that is exacerbated by exercise is often reported, and in most instances, an inciting cause is not identified.

Surgical management of common canine prostatic conditions.

Prostatic diseases commonly warrant surgical intervention. Early castration may prevent the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and cavitary lesions (prostatic abscesses or cysts). In intact dogs that present with these disorders, castration should always be part of the specific surgical treatment because it enhances treatment success and may prevent recurrence.

Proximal tibial intraarticular ostectomy for treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament injury.

Objective: To report a technique for surgical alteration of the slope of the tibial plateau by a proximal tibial intraarticular ostectomy (PTIO) after injury to the canine cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) and to determine the outcome.

Study Design: Prospective clinical study.

Animals: Dogs (n=52) with CCL injury in 60 stifle joints.
