Comparison of three radiographic assessment methods for detecting slipped capital femoral epiphyses in cats: Klein’s line, modified Klein’s line and the S-sign

The S-sign successfully detected SCFE in cats.

Use of a Modified Intramedullary Pinning Technique for Distal Femoral Physeal Salter–Harris Type I and II Fracture Management: A Retrospective Study of 31 Cats

This technique was associated with an full functional outcome.

Comparison of three radiographic assessment methods for detecting slipped capital femoral epiphyses in cats: Klein’s line, modified Klein’s line and the S-sign

The S-sign can be used to increase early diagnosis and treatment in cats with SCFE.

Trochlear Ridge Prostheses for Reshaping Femoral Trochlear Ridges in Dogs with Patellar Luxation

TRP could represent a potentially reliable alternative to trochleoplasty.

Biomechanical comparison of canine femurs implanted with either cemented (CFX®) or cementless (with lateral bolt) (BFX®+lb) total hip replacement under 4-point bending or torsional loads

BFX + lb stems may be a suitable replacement for CFX stems.

Computed tomographic measurements of the femoral trochlea in dogs with and without medial patellar luxation

Dogs without MPL had a deeper femoral trochlear groove than MPL dogs.

In conclusion, use of this commercially available standard 3.5-mm titanium interlocking nail is feasible.

Three-dimensional volume rendering planning, surgical treatment, and clinical outcomes for femoral and tibial detorsional osteotomies in dogs

A higher complication rate is expected when FDO and TDO are performed in the same hindlimb.

Influence of the Near-Cortical Over-Drilling Technique on the Mechanical Behaviour of Locking Plate Constructs Applied in Maned Wolf's Femur

The near-cortical over-drilling technique showed that maximum load is dependent on drill hole size.
