Objective: To report successful surgical correction of concurrent angular and torsional metatarsal deformities in a calf using a cylindrical osteotomy and locking compression plate (LCP) technology.
Study Design: Case report.
Animals: A 10-week-old composite bull calf.
Methods: Using Paley's principles of angular limb deformity correction, a cylindrical osteotomy was performed to concurrently correct varus deformity and external torsion of the metatarsus. The limb was aligned and stabilized using two 3.5 mm broad LCP with locking head screws.
Results: The calf was immediately weight bearing after surgery and did not experience any postoperative complications. Follow-up radiographs 5 months postoperatively revealed complete osteotomy healing and remodeling. The limb was in good alignment, the calf was fully weight bearing, and client satisfaction was very high. Telephone follow-up with the owner 16 months after surgery revealed continued full use of the operated limb and the bull was being used in a pasture breeding program.
Conclusions: Cylindrical osteotomy with LCP stabilization can provide a favorable outcome in angular and torsional metatarsal deformity correction in cattle.

: 3D patient-specific corrective osteotomies are optimized for use with oscillating saws, thereby rendering it incapable of executing curved osteotomies. The aim of this technical note is to introduce and evaluate the Panflute technique, which facilitates curved osteotomies with precise depth control for intra-articular corrective osteotomies in posttraumatic tibial plateau malunions. : A 33-year-old male patient with an intra-articular malunion was treated one year after index surgery of a lateral split-depression tibial plateau fracture with the Panflute technique.

Background: Treatment of patients with Crowe type III and IV dislocated hips is challenging because of the hip deformity in these patients. In addition to the usual total hip replacement, shortening and reduction of the femur are often required. We herein report on our surgical technique using a monoblock cylindrical cementless stem and a direct lateral approach.

Corrective osteotomy allows to improve joint loading, pain and function. In complex deformities, the biggest challenge is to define the optimal surgical solution, while considering anatomical, technical and biomechanical factors. While the single-cut osteotomy (SCOT) and focal dome osteotomy (FDO) are well-established treatment options, their mathematical relationship remain largely unclear.

Purpose: This study investigated the size and amount of titanium particles immediately released following dental implant insertion into bovine bone blocks and aimed to correlate them with the surface roughness of the implants.
Methods: Twelve bone blocks were prepared from bovine mandibles. Six tapered (group A) and 6 cylindrical (group B) dental implants were inserted into the bone blocks under water irrigation, following the standard drilling protocol.

The development of power instruments has led to great advances in rhinoplasty. It has helped to reduce operating time, minimize damage to the surrounding soft tissues, and allow precision bony modification compared with the use of manual rasps. Burrs help ensure precise results by (i) creating a smooth transition between the lateral nasal sidewall and the face, (ii) treating bony asymmetries, and (iii) producing homogeneous upper and middle thirds that softy translate into the upper lateral cartilages.
