Objective: To report the preoperative evaluation, treatment with transarticular elastic external skeletal fixation (ESF), and outcome of a dog with bilateral medial patellar luxation (MPL) and stifle rotational deformity.
Animal: One nonambulatory, 2.5-month-old, 7.5-kg mixed-breed intact female dog.
Objective: Evaluate the risk factors for reluxation and outcomes for dogs with a toggle rod construct.
Study design: Retrospective case series.
Animals: One hundred twenty-eight client-owned dogs.
Objective To describe the surgical reduction of luxation of the triceps brachii tendon in a dog.
Animal One 2.5‐year‐old 2.58 kg castrated male toy poodle.
Study design Clinical case report.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe a new surgical method of segmental femoral ostectomy for the reconstruction of the femoropatellar joint (FPJ) in dogs with medial patellar luxation (MPL) grade IV.
OBJECTIVES: To describe reduction techniques and clinical outcome in a series of traumatic elbow luxations in cats.
Case summary: A 1-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat presented for evaluation of a non-weight bearing right pelvic limb lameness after falling from a 4 m height. On orthopedic examination there was substantial swelling and pain on manipulation of the right pes. Radiographs were obtained under sedation, and these revealed dorsoproximal luxations of the third, fourth and fifth metatarsophalangeal joints, and lateral rotation of the second digit.
Coxofemoral luxation is the most common type of joint luxation observed clinically in dogs.
This retrospective study determines the complications and outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation of coxofemoral luxations using a toggle rod stabilization in 58 dogs. The purpose of the study was to compare the results with previous studies to ascertain commonalities and differences.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the risk of lameness and the rate of subsequent medial patellar luxation surgery in dogs that present with occult Grade II medial patellar luxation.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and prognostic factors for cats with sacrocaudal luxation.
Proximal tibial deformities or patellar luxation may occur concurrently with cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
The objective of this study was to describe the management of those conditions with a modified triple tibial osteotomy (TTO) in nine dogs. Medical records of dogs who underwent a modified TTO were reviewed.
