Gallaher VS 2018
NSAID effects on osteotomy healing
Long term administration had a NEGATIVE effect

Field VCOT 18
Quantitative and Quantitative measure on radiographic healing
moderate to strong correlation
Schrock VCOT 21
Gunshot fractures
41% distal long bone
26% proximal long bone
57% poor outcome - extensive ST trauma increased poor outcome likelihood
Salmelin VCOT 23
motor vehicle collision vs fell out of truck bed
- MVC dogs had significantly more thoracic (26.9% MVC, 4.4% PTB) and abdominal (12.9% MVC, 0% PTB) trauma
- Surgical treatments were performed significantly more often after PTB (71.6%) (MVC, 47.6%)
- Discharge rate after PTB (95.0%) was significantly higher (
- Aftercare was reported to be significantly more difficult after PTB
- MVC and PTB result in significantly different trauma. PTB causes predominantly orthopaedic and integument injuries, whereas MVC results in thoracic and abdominal trauma. Survival to discharge is greater following PTB than MVC.
Hulse VS 1997
Plate with IM pin
● utilized 3.5 broad DCP with IM pin filling 50% medullary canal
● stress reduction in the plate/rod system was twofold (double the stiffness) compared to plate alone
● fatigue life of plate/rod increased 10-fold over plate alone
Hulse VCOT 2000
plate with IM pin
● recommends pin size 35-40% medullary canal width
● Percent stiffness increase with differing pin sizes (compared to 3.5 DCP alone): 6% increase for 30% pin; 40% for 40% pin; 78% for 50% pin
Roe VS 1997
Cerclage wires
● twist type cerclage generated less tension than loop-type cerclage
● double loop and double wrap generated more tension and resisted greater load before loosening
Marturello VS 20
Two small ILN comparison
● The I-Loc 4 had the smallest torsional compliance (TC) and angular deformation (AD) of all constructs
● The largest TC was seen with the LCP 2.0.
● The Targon 2.5 had the largest AD secondary to locking interface slippage
● Targon surrogates failure torque were the lowest of all groups
● Conversely, there was no difference between the failure torque of the I-Loc, LCP, and intact surrogates
● Conclusion: We showed that I-Loc nails provided greater torsional stability than size-matched Targon nails and LCPs
o Conversely, Targon 2.5 locking interface slippage may jeopardize that construct’s stability. Furthermore, the significantly reduced bone surrogate torsional strength provided evidence that the large Targon bolt holes increased the risk of post explantation iatrogenic fracture
Marturello VS 21
ILN in cat fx
● 50% femurs, 30% tibiae
● open reduction in 75%; MIO in 25%
● mean canal fill <50%
● average time to clinical union 7 weeks
Marturello VCOT 20
Cat fx and two ILN
● native bone and feline bone surrogates were similar for all measures
● smallest bending compliance and angular deformation was seen in I-loc 4
● largest bending compliance and angular deformation was LCP 2.0
Rubinos JFMS 22
Traumatic physical fx in cats
● distal femur most commonly; distal tibia second most common
● most commonly SH II; second most common was SH I fractures
● 15/37 premature physeal closure
● good outcome in 28 cats
Ferrero VCOT 20
Fixing locking plate system
● mean time to bone union 9 weeks
● major complications in 4/56
Thompson VS 20
Wire configuration - strongest?
In conclusion, the double loop was the best configuration in this study, primarily because of its substantially higher initial tension, which conferred the greatest resistance to load compared with the other three configurations
Butare - Smith VS 22
Wire cerclage
● all wires failed by loosening (twist knot by untwisting)
● double loop cerclage was tighter and better able to resist cycling than twist of single-loop cerclage
Kaczmarek VCOT 20
Polyaxial locking plate (NOT PAX) and influence of screw angle
● The PLS plates were on average 30% weaker than LCP plates
● Mode of failure was plate bending in the single cycle to failure tests, and plate breakage in the cyclic fatigue tests
The PLS plates feature partially threaded plate holes, which allow maintenance of the locking mechanism with screws inserted polyaxially up to 15° off axis
Kaczmarek VCOT 20
Polyaxial plate vs LCP
● mean thread connection for LCP was 29% before destructive testing; 19% after destructive testing
● mean connection for PLS was 16% before and 15% after destructive testing
○ when inserted monoaxially, was 14% before and 19% after testing
Bassanino VS 21
fx repair with polyaxial locking plate
● 2/40 complications seen, 1/40 required revision
● radiographic union in 95%
● delayed fracture healing (>60d) in 50% of cases
● one or more ancillary fixation methods used in 67% of cases
● PLS can result in high success; ancillary fixation should be strongly considered
Chang VCOT 18: preloaded position screw vs lag screw
● compared with lag screws, preloaded position screws tolerated greater torque in screw installation and provided greater interfragmentary compressive force
● lag screws failed by thread stripping
Muro VS 21:
Type 2 ESF vs LCP
● type II ESF were stiffer than LCP in mediolateral bending and axial compression
● LCP was stiffer in craniocaudal bending
● Overall Type II ESF were stiffer in mediolateral bending than craniocaudal bending
● Overall LCP was stiffer in craniocaudal bending than mediolateral bending
Nicety VCOT 19
supercutaneous plating
● 3 radial and 2 tibial fractures included - all treated with conical coupling locking plates (Fixin)
● 1 major (implant failure) and 1 minor (delayed union and iatrogenic recurvatum)
● All 5 fractures healed and patients were sound at long term follow up
● The advantages related to the minimally invasive approach and implant removal could make the supercutaneous plating (SCP) an alternative to the traditional external skeletal fixation.
Further clinical investigations are required before definitive treatment recommendations using this technique can be made
Walrus VCOT 18
1.5mm LCP properties
● In compression, the 1.5 LCP was stiffer than the 1.5 straight plate and had similar stiffness to the 1.5 stacked plates and the 2.0 straight plate
● Load at yield of the 1.5 LCP was slightly lower than the 1.5 straight plate
● In torsion, the 1.5 LCP and 1.5 straight plate had similar stiffness, but 1.5 LCP was slightly stronger than 1.5 straight
● 1.5 stacked plates and 2.0 straight were overall superior to the 1.5 LCP, but only marginally so for the stacked plates
Parlierne VCOT 18
locking plates in bending
● 3-screw constructs were stiffer than 2 screw
● Interfragmentary relative displacements were higher in 2 screw constructs
● No sig diff in number of cycles to failure btwn the constructs
● Failure in all constructs was d/t plate fracture at the level of the compression holes
● omission of the 3rd (innermost) locking screw led to a 20% reduction in construct stiffness
