Following firing, six staples of each type were mounted on a material testing machine. Mechanical properties of staples were evaluated under uniaxial loading test, which translated to the bending of the staple for determination of flexural deformation strength. Staples were evaluated for tip alignment and distance between pointed tips.\u0000 Results Maximum force to flexural deformation was greater for Precise (29.633 ± 7.8421 N), than Proximate (16.200 ± 1.1541 N; p = 0.000), Henry Schein (23.383 ± 5.2282 N; p = 0.011), Weck Visistat (24.329 ± 1.0372 N; p = 0.025), Appose (18.133 ± 1.2675 N; p = 0.000), Manipler (14.067 ± 3.7393 N; p = 0.000), and Leukoclip (22.288 ± 1.6915 N; p = 0.002) but was not different from Gima (27.483 ± 6.5637 N; p = 0.370) and Advan (27.283 ± 2.8708 N; p = 0.327) Precise, Appose, and Advan fired staples had their pointed tips met, whereas Manipler, Leukoclip, Gima, Henry Schein, Proximate, and Weck Visistat showed a gap between pointed tips. Proximate staples also showed malalignment between their pointed tips.\u0000 Conclusion The flexural deformation strength of skin staples manufactured by Precise, Gima, and Advan was between 29 and 27 N and thus significantly superior to the other six staple types tested.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"27 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141845720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical records of five consecutive cases of dogs with seven nascent malunion LHC fractures that were treated between 2015 and 2018 with the aid of an intraoperative distraction device were reviewed. Relevant clinical and radiographic data, forelimb circumference, elbow goniometry and clinical outcome were evaluated. Anatomic reduction and fixation with complete healing were achieved in all seven cases. Implants were removed in four cases to resolve persisting lameness. Three dogs (4 cases) were available for long-term follow-up: mean circumference and range of motion were decreased in the operated limbs as compared with the contralateral normal limbs. One dog (with bilateral fractures) was euthanized due to poor outcome. In the other five elbows, outcome was acceptable. Based on the results of this case series, use of an intraoperative distraction device to aid in anatomical reduction and fixation of nascent malunion LHC fractures should be considered.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126471894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report presents two cases of angular limb deformity correction, utilizing a novel conformation-based technique. A combination of computed tomography and radiographs was used to characterize the deformities for each case. Case 1 presented with a biapical deformity of the left antebrachium. Case 2 presented with deformities affecting the left femur and tibia. Rendering of a three-dimensional (3D) bone model, surgical planning, and production of multistep surgical jigs were executed using a traditional mesh-modeling workflow for case 1, whereas case 2 utilized the described novel software. No intraoperative complications were encountered while using the surgical kits. The multistep surgical jigs facilitated major procedural steps with precision, including application of definitive fixation. The novel software reduced the surgical planning time and the operator's requirement for 3D modeling skill. All osteotomies were stabilized in compression with acceptable alignment and good patient outcomes. This novel conformation-based approach and planning software, developed by the corresponding author, may provide an alternative method of correcting canine angular limb deformities. Further research on this technique and software is indicated before commercial availability.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129728858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resultant increased procurvatum can be poorly tolerated because of subsequent loss of stifle extension. This case report represents a dog with the increased procurvatum of the distal femur ascribed to a previous Salter-Harris type V injury. Surgical planning and successful outcome following the corrective procedures have been documented. A 6.5-month-old fox-terrier presented with a persistent weight bearing left pelvic limb lameness, 2 months after being hit by a car. The predominant orthopaedic finding was a 20-degree decrease in left stifle extension. Radiographic and computerized tomography evaluation revealed premature eccentric closure of the left distal femoral physis ascribed to a previous Salter-Harris type V injury. The left femoral procurvatum was 30 degrees. The left tibial plateau angle was increased by 11.5 degrees compared with the right. The femoral deformity was characterized, and a corrective procedure was planned using Paley's centre of rotation of angulation methodology. A cranial closing wedge ostectomy of the left distal femur was performed and stabilized using a locking plate. Proximal tibial epiphysiodesis was also performed to reduce the tibial plateau slope. Union of the osteotomy site and reduction in tibial plateau angle by 5.4 degrees were documented 50 days after surgery with a good functional outcome.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"232 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116172350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A literature search revealed very few cases of a CaCL avulsion fracture or rupture combined with a cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture. Only a single case report described surgical treatment of this combination by fragment removal and stifle stabilization with an extracapsular suture. A 1-year-old female spayed Labrador Retriever presented with a hindlimb lameness. Examination revealed cranial drawer of the stifle, consistent with CrCL rupture. Stifle effusion, as well as a bone opacity seen in the trochlear groove, was evident on radiographs. At surgery, arthrotomy revealed a torn CrCL as well as an avulsion fracture of the CaCL origin from the medial femoral condyle. The avulsion fracture was reduced, and three 0.035-inch Kirschner's wires (K-wires) were placed in a divergent fashion through the fragment into the medial femoral condyle. A tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) was then performed. Six-week recheck radiographs showed good healing of the TPLO as well as the repaired avulsion fracture, despite breakage of one of the K-wires. The dog was mildly lame at the 6-week follow-up and subsequently improved to clinically normal on the limb at 8-month follow-up with optimal bone healing on radiographs. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report to describe a CaCL avulsion fracture repair with K-wires combined with a TPLO for a torn CrCL, with an excellent clinical outcome.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116410086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study Design Frozen thawed canine cadavers were used. The stifle was distended using a 2.7 mm arthroscope connected to a commercial fluid pump. Intra-articular pressure was measured using a portable pressure gauge connected to an intra-articular 18 G needle. Intra-articular pressure was recorded during stifle extension, 90 degrees flexion and full flexion at three different FPP (30, 50, 80 mm Hg). Results Testing was performed on 27 stifles. Intra-articular pressure significantly increased at higher FPP ( p < 0.01). At FPP 30, 50, and 80 mm Hg, the mean IAP was 51.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 41.3–62.2), 103.3 (95% CI: 92.8–113.7), and 175.2 mm Hg (95% CI: 164.8–185.6), respectively. At FPP 30 and 50 mm Hg, IAP always remained under 170 mm Hg. At 80 mm Hg, IAP raised to or above 170 mm Hg in 11/14 stifles. Stifle position significantly affected IAP ( p < 0.01). Changing stifle position from 90 degrees flexion to extension significantly decreased IAP by 22.4 mm Hg (95% CI: 16.2–28.5), and changing to full flexion significantly increased IAP by 20.9 mm Hg (95% CI: 14.8–27.1; p < 0.01). Conclusion Our results suggest that caution should be used during stifle arthroscopy to limit risk for iatrogenic capsular damage. Fluid pump pressure 30 mm Hg is considered safe when using a 2.7 mm arthroscope and high flow cannula. If higher FPP is necessary for visualization, duration of stifle flexion should be limited. Fluid pump pressure 80 mm Hg should be avoided.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127380208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With correct pore size such scaffolds are able to be integrated into surrounding bone. Two dogs were presented with atrophic non-union of the proximal ulna involving the elbow joint due to previous orthopaedic procedures with severe complications that led to segmental bone defects that were not expected to heal without a secondary intervention. Computed tomography (CT) was performed and porous scaffolds and saw guides were designed in silico and printed by AM. Osteotomies in adjacent healthy bone were guided by patient-specific three-dimensional (3D)-printed nylon saw guides allowing a perfect fit for the 3D-printed implant. In one case the scaffold was filled with bone morphogenic protein and held in place by two plates. In the other case the scaffold was filled with cancellous bone graft and held in place by a titanium plate that was part of the scaffold design. Both cases regained function and weight-bearing without lameness. Osseointegration of the implant was shown in both cases on follow-up CT and radiographs and macroscopically evident in the pores of the 3D implant after plate removal. One dog was euthanatized for unrelated disease and micro-CT revealed solid bone bridging through the inner scaffold tunnel. This study showed the successful application of the design, fabrication and clinical use of a patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implant to repair segmental bone defects of the antebrachium in two dogs.","PeriodicalId":443672,"journal":{"name":"VCOT Open","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133385065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
