Submitting the femoral head for histopathologic examination should be considered at the time of the hip replacement surgery.

This is the first recorded case of canine brachial plexus extraskeletal osteosarcoma.

Full hind-limb amputation was elected.

This study suggests no difference in outcome for dogs treated with and without BPs in addition to hypofractionated RT.

If planned appropriately, these procedures can result in a good functional outcome in cats.

The lateral manus translation provides an alternative limb-sparing technique that does not require an allograft, endoprosthesis, or autograft.

Interactions between the canine immune system and OSA warrant additional study.

This report provides evidence that limb salvage can result in satisfactory levels of activity.

The modified endoprosthetic technique allowed complete excision of the carpal joint, which resulted in acceptable functional outcomes in the dog described here.

Distal ostectomies may include part of the manus during limb salvage surgery of locally extensive distal radial osteosarcoma and using an endoprosthesis implant to reconstruct the defect.
