Construct Failure Following Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy of Canine Tibia Using Locking Plates

Revision surgery is often required, and a good outcome can be expected.

Partial tarsal arthrodesis with plate fixation for management of traumatic tarsometatarsal injuries in five cats

Partial tarsal arthrodesis is associated with excellent outcomes for return to pre-injury activities.

Cis-cortical over-drilling compromises torsional stability of angle-stable intramedullary nail constructs

Uniform and symmetric cis-cortical over-drilling compromises construct torsional stability.
