Model-predicted stifle ligament loads improved following TTA but TTA did not restore CrCL-intact stifle biomechanics
Computed tomography examination allowed clear identification of the fracture configurations and was superior to radiography
Cats with forelimb lameness should be evaluated for medial humeral epicondylitis, associated with free joint bodies and neurogenic myopathy
More distal screw allows placement of a longer screw and renders a more rigid fracture fixation, but a higher risk of solar canal penetration
Computer recognition pattern analysis was up to 100% correct in identifying abnormal elbows and normal elbows, with the medial images most consistent
To the authors’ knowledge this is the first case report of a congenital radial head sub-luxation in a craniolateral direction in a dog and also one successfully managed with radial head ostectomy and radioulnar synostosis.
Synovial fluid lactate concentration is not a good marker for osteoarthritis or immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis, but it is significantly increased in septic arthritis
The plate used as a hybrid construct yielded excellent clinical results with both uncomplicated healing and excellent functional outcomes
Both ventral and lateral flexion may lead to severe spinal cord compression and the tectorial membrane may play a protective role in some cases of atlantoaxial instability.
