Outcomes and Complications Associated with Acute Gunshot Fractures in Cats and Dogs

Gunshot fractures overall have high likelihood of poor outcome.

Hemiepiphysiodesis for the Correction of Distal Femoral Valgus in Growing Dogs

Hemiepiphysiodesis should be considered as an early treatment in affected immature dogs.

Long-term follow-up of spinal segmental stabilization for surgical treatment of dorsal hemivertebrae associated with kyphosis in brachycephalic dogs

The complications were minor and did not require revision surgery.

The effect of pearl spacing on single-cycle load-to-failure and cyclic loading parameters of 2.0 mm pearl locking plates

Although mechanical differences were identified in four-point bending, in vivo biomechanical performance remains undetermined.

Computed Tomographic Evaluation of the Accuracy of Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Screw Fixation in Cats

CT evaluation provides a useful method for the assessment of sacroiliac reduction.

Ex vivo study of the intradiskal pressure in the C6-7 intervertebral disk after experimental destabilization and distraction-fusion of the C5-C6 vertebrae in canine cadaveric specimens

Distraction-fusion of C5-C6 did not significantly alter the IDP of healthy C6-7 IVDs.

Effect of knot location on the biomechanical strength and gapping characteristics of ex vivo canine gastrocnemius tenorrhaphy constructs

All 3 evaluated knot locations may be acceptable for tendon repair in dogs.

Subaxial cervical articular process subluxation and dislocation: Cervical locked facet injuries in dogs

Locked facet injuries affected the caudal cervical vertebrae in small breeds.
