Objective: To determine the influence of screw direction on complications following transcondylar screw placement for the treatment of canine humeral intracondylar fissures (HIFs).
Study design: Equivalence, parallel group, randomized clinical trial.
Sample population: Fifty-two client owned dogs (73 elbows).
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the interfragmentary compressive force and area of compression generated by cortical screws inserted as either a lag screw or position screw in simulated lateral humeral condylar fractures.
Study design: Ex vivo biomechanical study.
A seven-month-old male Shetland Sheepdog was presented for assessment of thoracic limb lameness of 3 weeks duration.
Authors have commonly observed lamellar periosteal new bone formation at the cranial aspect of the humeral diaphysis in mediolateral radiographs of the humerus for large breed dogs with no evidence of pain or lameness.
Objective: To report the configuration, risk factors, fixation methods and complication rates after repair of humeral condylar fractures (HCF) in French bulldogs, and report the presence of humeral intracondylar fissures (HIF) in this population as a possible predisposing factor.
Study design: Retrospective clinical cohort study.
Sample population: Forty-four elbows.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop guidelines for the optimal location of drill entry and exit points for insertion of a transcondylar screw across the feline humeral condyle.
Objective: Our objectives were to report complications associated with stabilization of long-bone fractures in cats using a 3.5-mm titanium interlocking nail and to examine the influences of signalment, fracture type and fixation evaluations on the occurrence of complications.
Study design: Retrospective clinical study.
Objective: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes of dogs surgically treated for proximal humeral osteochondrosis (OC).
Study design: Cross-sectional study.
Sample population: Twenty dogs (n = 26 shoulders).
Objective: To design a precontoured plating system for humeral condylar fracture repair in spaniels with humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) and quantify accuracy of fit of the system on 3D printed bone models.
Study design: Experimental on 3D printed models.
