Deep learning can detect elbow disease in dogs screened for elbow dysplasia

Our study demonstrates robust performance of CNNs for detecting abnormal elbow joints.

Comprehensive radiographic grading system and clinical outcomes of canine tibial avulsion fractures in dogs

This study introduces an enhanced classification system for tibial apophyseal fractures in dogs.

The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both sexes.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position should be placed first in the head of the plate.

Evaluation of 3D-printed patient-specific guides to facilitate fluoroscopic-assisted Kirschner wire stabilization of simulated capital physeal fractures in 3D-printed dog femur models

3DP patient-specific guides resulted in faster, simpler, and more accurate Kirschner wire placement.

Biomechanical Evaluation of a Femoral Implant for Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty in Dogs: An Ex Vivo Study

The hip resurfacing arthroplasty prosthesis showed inferior performance in ML and LC.

Outcome and Complications Following Medial Patellar Luxation Corrective Surgery with Tibial Tuberosity Transposition Using a Locking Plate and a Pin Fixation: 45 Unilateral and 20 Single-Session Bilateral Procedures

Plate-Pin fixation for TT during MPL surgery is a feasible technique with a lower incidence of luxation recurrence

Effect of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Transection during TPLO on Patellar Desmitis in Dogs with Partial Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This study did not identify a protective effect of transecting the CCL remnant.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position minimises cranial osteotomy gap formation.
