Fracture Fixation and Implants

full-length ILN with a radius of curvature between 750 and 806 mm would fit 87% of the studied bones.

OP constructs were stronger and stiffer than UP under dynamic and static axial compression.

Surgeons should consider the use of IF over ESF for skeletally immature dogs to reduce the risk of major complications.

1.5-mm locking plates provided effective fixation for radial and ulnar fractures.

The addition of LHI to a 3.5-mm broad LCP construct was not shown to have an effect on plate strain, stiffness, or deformation.

The TPA of dogs with SH-1 and SH-2 fractures of the proximal tibial physis decreased in the reevaluation interim following repair with K-wires with or without a tension band.

Flexure formula for a uniform beam is not directly applicable to our composite constructs, as discussed.

Over the last decade, there has been extensive discussion within the veterinary community about the relationship between strain and working length.

Objective: To assess the impact of a postoperative fracture gap on implant failure following radius and ulna fracture repair in toy breed dogs.

Feline sacroiliac luxation can be stabilized using two sacroiliac screws.
