Use of 3D-printed osteotomy and reduction guides may improve the accuracy of correction of femoral alignment.
This report provides evidence that MIPO is a compelling alternative to open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of various humeral fractures.
Surgeon, surgical experience, arthrotomy, meniscal damage, meniscal intervention, complications, postoperative TPA and initial TPA have no effect on this measurement of surgical outcome.
Breed studies should be performed to determine a breed-specific patellar-thickness/trochlear-depth ratio.
These findings may help guide future studies of alternatives for optimizing canine pelvic anatomy to minimize the risk of hip dysplasia and associated osteoarthritis.
In contrast to the findings of a previous study, the slanted slot and inverted cone slot do not appear to provide a biomechanical benefit compared with standard ventral slot.
The use of a locking plate to improve overall success rate, in these fractures, remains to be confirmed clinically.
The high variances in PTA measurement in less experienced observers may influence the clinical outcome of surgery.
