Q

Salmelin VCOT 23
motor vehicle collision vs fell out of truck bed

A
  • 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.

Q

Marturello VS 20
Two small ILN comparison

A

● 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

Nicety VCOT 19
supercutaneous plating

A

● 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

A

● 3 screw constructs were stiffer than 2 screw constructs
● number of cycles to failure of the 2 screw constructs was significantly lower than 3 screw constructs
● all constructs failed by plate bending
● omission of the 3rd (innermost) locking screw led to a 15% reduction in cycles to failure and 25% reduction of load before plastic deformation

26
Q

Nabholz VCOT 19
tarragon ILN

A

● use of fluoro did not lead to sig differences in any of the outcome measures
● Intraop comps predominantly occurred in distal humerus (37.5%) and prox femur (22%)
● Overall 21% comps with NO comps occurring in the tibia
● Neurovascular structures were only damaged at the medial distal humerus (31%)
● Concl: higher number of comps leading them to consider the humerus NOT SAFE for TVS

27
Q

Jung VCOT 20
Atraumatic Rigid Fixation system (ARIX)

A

ARIX locking system is much more sensitive to insertion torque than angle
● greater insertion torques (>1 Nm) can result in screw head stripping and plate hole deformation

28
Q

Bird VCOT 20
Notched locking t plate vs LCP

A

● LCP was stiffer than the notched head T plate in all planes of bending and torsion
● notched head T Plate had greater strain than LCP
● A 2.0 LCP with two screws in the short fragment was significantly stiffer and had lower plate strain than 2.0 mm notched head T plate with 3 screws in the short fragment
● extending working length reduced construct stiffness and increased plate strain

29
Q

Labrador VCOT 22

A

ECTS identified all in vitro screw fractures with negligible screw fragment displacement and provided better screw assessment

30
Q

Kaczmarek VCOT 22
off axis insertion of locking screws

A
  • 3.5 LCP showed higher push-out strength than the 3.5 PLS when the screws were placed at 0 degree regardless of the insertion torque. The off-axis insertion of 3.5 LCP locking screws resulted in a significant decrease in push-out strength
31
Q

Mascellino VCOT 23
liberty lock system

A
  • Radiographic union was achieved in all 60 fractures with 55/60 healing without recorded complications. Major complications 4/60 and minor complication 1/60 rates were low and no catastrophic complications occurred. The most common major complication was surgical site infection.
  • LLS allowed for successful repair in all 60 cases with a wide variety of fractures. The LLS had a similar complication rate and time to radiographic union to that reported in other veterinary locking plate systems. The LLS is a reliable locking plate system which offers some advantages such as a low-profile plate with the ability to place non-polyaxial to angled polyaxial screws, to treat fractures in dogs and cats.
32
Q

Deprey VS 22
ILN vs LCP

A
  • The NAS-ILN showed greater stiffness in compression and 4-point bending, and a greater resistance to failure in compression, torsion, and 4-point bending, than LCP.
33
Q

Gremley VS 23
Grip location on k wires

A
  • A grip location of 2.0 cm in the 0.9 mm K-wire group minimized bend angle (mean ± SD: 75.92 ± 0.81) and bend radius (2.89 mm ± 0.08).
  • A grip location of 3.0 cm in the 1.1 mm K-wire group minimized bend angle (72.88 ± 0.98) and bend radius (2.47 mm ± 0.20).
  • A grip location of 3.0 cm minimized bend angle (74.38 ± 1.93) and bend radius (2.71 mm ± 0.27) in the 1.6 mm K-wire group.
  • Torque at these grip locations for the 0.9, 1.1, and 1.6 mm K-wires was 6.50 N-m ± 0.0, 11.00 N-m ± 0.0, and 19.05 N-m ± 0.16, respectively.
  • Bend angle and bend radius can be minimized by bending K-wires at specific grip locations, though torque is not minimized at these locations.

35
Q

Park VCOT 21
bidirectional insertion of ESF pins

A

unidirectional pin placement is recommended; repositioning of pins results in loss of peak pullout strength with tapered run out and positive profile pins with tapered run out and positive profile pins

Q

Sherman VS 23
ESF in MIO fashion for tibia fx

A
  • Intraoperative imaging was used in 40/55 (72%) of cases. Tibal plateau angle (TPA), tibial mechanical medial proximal and distal tibial angles (mMPTA and mMDTA, respectively) were not affected by intraoperative imag- ing (P = .344, P = .687, P = .418).
  • A total of 22 (40%) complications occurred. Of these, 18 were considered minor and 4 were considered major. Open fractures had more major complications than closed fractures (P = .019). All fractures reached radiographic union of the fracture.
  • The mean ± SD time to external fixator removal was 71 ± 48 days.
  • Linear ESF applied using minimally invasive techniques with or without intraoperative imaging was an effective treatment for nonarticular tib- ial fractures.

45
Q

marshall VS 22
delayed/non/mal unions

A
  • delayed union occurred in 13.9% of fractures (64/461), non-union in 4.6% (21/461), and mal- union in 0.7% (3/461).
  • Risk factors for delayed or non-union were age; comminuted fracture; treatment with bone graft (all types); surgical site infection, and major implant failure
    o Older dogs, dogs with comminuted fractures, surgical site infection, or major implant failure were at increased odds of delayed or non-union.
    o Radius and ulna fractures in toy breed dogs were not at increased odds of delayed or non-union.
  • The identified risk factors should inform fracture plan- ning and prognosticating. The prognosis for radial fractures in toy breeds appears better than historically believed.
46
Q

Ree VS 18
Alternative to autogenous cancellous graft

A

autologous greater omentum
● Improvement in peak vertical force and vertical impulse was greater in dogs with omental grafts than bone grafts, beginning 3 weeks postop
● Radiographic healing occurred earlier in bones treated with oemntal graft (9 weeks omental graft; 12 weeks bone graft)
● Cortical bone density was higher in bone graft compared to omental graft group
● Bones retained more vessels when treated with omental graft compared to bone graft
● Omental graft accelerated bone healing and return to weight bearing in dogs

47
Q

Castilla VCOT 23
what can be used to help with bone regeneration

A
  • The rhBMP-2-treated bone underwent restoration of normal architecture and density. Acceptable limb function was present in all patients. The results of this study can serve as a basis for long-term response in treating nonunion fractures in veterinary patients.
