The change in DARA was determined for 30-, 25- and 20-degree preangled-locking DPO plates. The preoperative DARA was compared to the immediate postoperative DARA, and where available, the postoperative DARA was compared to short- and long-term DARA measurements.27 dogs underwent DPO, resulting in 49 hips available for analysis. The median preoperative DARA was 16.3 degrees (Q1-Q3, 12.3-22.2) and 17.6 degrees (Q1-Q3, 12.42-1.0) for right and left hip, respectively. The median postoperative DARA was -4.5 degrees (Q1-Q3, [-8.8]-[-1.3]) for the right hip and -4.1 degrees (Q1-Q3, [-7.6] to 5.8) for the left hip. The median change in DARA was 23.4 degrees (Q1-Q3, 17.5-26.15), 16.7 degrees (Q1-Q3, 12.2-20) and 15 degrees (Q1-Q3, 14.1-15.2) for a 30-, 25- and 20-degree plate, respectively.

The objective of this review is to discuss the physical principles of ultrasound elastography and its applications in the musculoskeletal system of veterinary medicine. This bibliographic review compiles relevant studies exploring elastography's physical basis, its technological development, and its clinical applications in veterinary contexts. Elastography complements B-mode ultrasound by assessing tissue stiffness, offering unique diagnostic insights beyond acoustic impedance and flow properties. Studies have demonstrated the potential of elastography in evaluating tendon injuries, muscle disorders, and bone healing, with promising results in dogs, horses and experimental models like sheep. Techniques such as compression elastography and shear wave elastography provide qualitative and quantitative data, enhancing the assessment of pathological changes. Shear wave elastography enables precise measurements of tissue elasticity, aiding the diagnosis, monitoring of healing and evaluation of therapeutic interventions. Despite technical challenges, elastography is a valuable tool that can optimize musculoskeletal diagnostics and treatment planning. Its expanding use in veterinary medicine underscores its clinical relevance and potential for widespread adoption as a complementary imaging modality.","PeriodicalId":51204,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three 3.5-mm TPLO plates were tested according to the manufacturer guidelines for dynamic compression screws placement: Synthes, Arthrex, and Biocurve. Each plate was tested five times using a new bone model. The interfragmentary surface was divided into quadrants: Q1 (craniomedial), Q2 (craniolateral), Q3 (caudomedial), and Q4 (caudolateral). Compression was classified as low (<0.12 MPa), moderate (0.12-0.25 MPa), or high (>0.25 MPa).Significant differences in overall interfragmentary compression were found among the plates (p < 0.001). The Biocurve plate generated the highest and most uniform compression (Q1: 0.285 ± 0.023 MPa; Q2: 0.304 ± 0.010 MPa; Q3: 0.220 ± 0.014 MPa; Q4: 0.237 ± 0.010 MPa).

Patients treated with prosthetic ligamentoplasty without cartilage debridement or bone grafting were included. Long-term follow-up data were obtained via questionnaire (owners), and clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed by a single surgeon.At the last follow-up, all owners reported that their pets (n = 20) had regained full or acceptable function of the affected limb; 2/15 had grade I lameness. All tarsometatarsal joints were stable. Follow-up radiographs were performed (mean = 4 years) and revealed partial (11/14) to complete (2/14) radiographic bony ankylosis of the tarsometatarsal joint. Complications, mainly consisting of implant migration, were reported in 7/20 of the dogs.Palpable stability and signs of radiographic bony ankylosis can be achieved by prosthetic ligamentoplasty in cases of medial or dorsomedial tarsometatarsal subluxation, leading to full or acceptable function.

The presence of osteomyelitis (p = 0.16), umbilical infection (p = 0.41), or infection with Rhodococcus equi (p = 1) did not significantly influence survival. However, risk of nonsurvival was significantly increased if multiple sites were infected (p = 0.007; odds ratio [OR] = 5.80) or when bony lesions were present on admission radiographs (p = 0.03; OR = 3.47). A large proportion of the foals in this study had osteomyelitis (66%; 43/65).

The prognosis, defined as survival to discharge, for these orthopaedic infections is positive, especially if only one location is affected.
