Reducing Plate Strain with Orthogonal Plating

The study by de Bruyn and colleagues in this edition[1] examines the impact of orthogonal plating on these parameters.

Interfragmentary Compression of Tibial Osteotomies

The tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) procedure was both revolutionary and controversial.

External skeletal fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures in cats

An ESF may be successfully applied for the stabilization of various pelvic fractures in cats.

Tibial fracture associated with use of Arthrex self-tapping screws during tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in dogs and development of transcortical tibial fracture

TCTF associated with Arthrex 3.5 mm STS use in TPLO can contribute to major complications after surgery.

Efficacy of virtual surgical planning and a three-dimensional-printed, patient-specific reduction system to facilitate alignment of diaphyseal tibial fractures stabilized by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in dogs: A prospective clinical study

Virtual planning is practical and facilitated acceptable alignment during MIPO.

Elucidation of the radius and ulna fracture mechanisms in toy poodle dogs using finite element analysis

The findings offer valuable insights for modified treatment approaches in managing fractures in toy breed dogs.

Outcomes of 15 dogs and two cats with metabone fractures treated with fluoroscopically guided normograde metabone pinning

Fluoroscopically guided normograde metabone pinning provides an alternative technique for treatment of metabone fractures.

Use of a novel three-dimensional anatomical plating system for treatment of caudal mandibular fractures in cats: 13 cases (2019–2023)

The reported outcomes of this novel technique are favourable when compared with previous techniques.

Mechanical Testing of Sliding on Pivot-Locking Clamp (SOP-LC) Fracture Repair System in Four-Point Bending and Torsion

Torque applied to initial screw placement may play a role in reducing clamp slippage.

Antimicrobial prophylaxis in companion animal surgery: A scoping review for European Network for Optimization of Antimicrobial Therapy (ENOVAT) guidelines
