Does the Craniolateral Approach Provide Better Exposure to the Radius than the Craniomedial Approach for Internal Fracture Fixation in Dogs?

Objective To compare the exposure of the craniolateral approach (CLA) with craniomedial approach (CMA) of the radius in dogs. To make general observations of each approach that may affect the ease of fracture repair.

A Retrospective Study of Risk Factors Associated with Refracture after Repair of Radial–Ulnar Fractures in Small-Breed Dogs

Objective The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for refracture after radial union in small-breed dogs.

Permanent Iatrogenic Fibular Nerve Injury following Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy
