Fracture Fixation and Implants

The stabilisation of humeral condylar fractures with transcondylar screw/epicondylar locking plates led comparable outcomes and complication rates to previous reports.
Fracture of the distal femoral physis was the most common physeal fracture seen.
36 weeks after initial surgery, the dog had returned to normal function.
Pes varus deformity can be corrected by wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia stabilised by HES.
Femoral endoprosthesis and a TKR prosthesis can be a viable alternative for distal femoral limb salvage in cats.
Gunshot fractures overall have high likelihood of poor outcome.
Although mechanical differences were identified in four-point bending, in vivo biomechanical performance remains undetermined.
