Carpus

Despite secondary ankylosis, this technique avoids the use of salvage procedures such as carpal arthrodesis.

This retrospective study documents a suitable technique for pancarpal arthrodesis in dogs with carpal injuries.

This case series therefore provides evidence in support of this treatment option for this heterogeneous congenital deformity.

Ultrasonographic information regarding the palmar region is currently lacking.

The use of ALPS offers comparable performance to HDCP for PCA.

Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures may be associated with concurrent ligamentous injury.

This technique resulted in comparable complication and infection rates in canine PCA to previous published studies using hybrid dynamic compression plates.

3 Tesla MRA and MRI allow excellent visualization of the ligamentous morphology and may be helpful in the diagnostic process of carpal sprains in dogs.

Three-dimensional carpal kinematic analyses may improve our understanding of carpal injury and facilitate the development of novel treatments techniques.

The values established could be used as a reference for surgical treatment of angular deformities, malunions, non-unions, comminuted fractures, and future orthopaedic research
