Carpus

There is a potential for delayed contralateral limb involvement, so long-term monitoring is recommended.
Temporary transarticular stabilisation with a locking plate provided adequate temporary immobilisation of the joint.
Despite secondary ankylosis, this technique avoids the use of salvage procedures such as carpal arthrodesis.
This retrospective study documents a suitable technique for pancarpal arthrodesis in dogs with carpal injuries.
This case series therefore provides evidence in support of this treatment option for this heterogeneous congenital deformity.
Ultrasonographic information regarding the palmar region is currently lacking.
Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures may be associated with concurrent ligamentous injury.
This technique resulted in comparable complication and infection rates in canine PCA to previous published studies using hybrid dynamic compression plates.
