Locking Compression Plate Fixation of Feline Acetabular Fractures: Application, Complications and Perioperative Outcome.

Objectives:  The aim of this study was to report the use, complications and perioperative outcome of locking compression plates (LCP) for acetabular fracture fixation in feline patients.

Study Design:  Medical records were reviewed for cats presented with acetabular fractures between 2011 and 2019. Only cases that involved open reduction and internal fixation with at least one LCP and had a minimum of 5-week postoperative follow-up were included.

Epicondylar plate fixation of humeral condylar fractures in immature French bulldogs: 45 cases (2014-2020).

Objectives: The objective of this study was to report outcome and postoperative complications following stabilisation of humeral condylar fractures in skeletally immature French bulldogs with a transcondylar screw combined with locking or hybrid locking plates.

Materials And Methods: Medical records from one referral hospital were reviewed to identify skeletally immature French bulldogs with humeral condylar fractures treated with a transcondylar screw and epicondylar locking or hybrid locking plates crossing the distal humeral physis.

Results: Forty-five fractures in 41 different dogs with a mean age of 4 months (range 3.

Locking Plate Fixation for Canine Acetabular Fractures.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to document application of locking plates for stabilization of acetabular fractures along with complications and clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that complications and clinical outcomes would be comparable to historical reports using non-locking plate and screw constructs.

Study Design:  Medical records of dogs presented with acetabular fractures at a single referral centre between 2010 and 2018 were reviewed.

Multi-centre retrospective study of the long-term outcome following suspected traumatic elbow luxation in 32 cats.

Objectives: To describe reduction techniques and clinical outcome in a series of traumatic elbow luxations in cats.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of unilateral elbow luxations treated at five specialist referral centres. Data included signalment, aetiology, concurrent injuries, luxation direction, time to reduction, primary reduction technique, surgical procedure and complications.

Optometry Australia's chairside reference for the diagnosis and management of age-related macular degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over the age of 50 years in Australia. Optometry Australia has developed this AMD chairside reference in consultation with a member-based working group comprised of experienced practitioners. It provides an evidence-based approach to current best practice in the diagnosis and management of AMD.
