Q

de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:

Planar bone scintigraphy vs HiSPECT for diagnosis of flexor enthesopathy?

A

de Bakker, VCOT, 2013:

Planar bone scintigraphy only allows attribution of lameness to the elbow joint whereas HiSPECT enables localization of pathology within the elbow joint, however HiSPECT is insufficient to distinguish primary from concomitant flexor enthesopathy

Long-term outcomes after arthroscopic treatment of young dogs with MCPD?

Q

Fitzpatrick, Vet Surg, 2013:

Effects of BODPUO?

A

Fitzpatrick, Vet Surg, 2013:

BODPUO “uncouples” the radioulnar articulation and allows divergence of the caudal aspect of the radial incisure from the radial head

Q

Bottcher, Vet Surg, 2013:

A

Bottcher, Vet Surg, 2013:

Caudal tipping is the main mechanism by which joint incongruence at the MCP is improved after PUO

24
Q

  1. What was of greater clinical relevance - SHO or focal coronoid treatment?
  2. Effect of SHO on peak vertical forces and asymmetry indices?
A

Fitzpatrick, Vet Surg, 2015:

  1. SHO was of greater clinical relevance as focal treatment did not alter the medium-term outcome after SHO
  2. Peak vertical forces and asymmetry indices showed significant improvement post-op
25
Q

Wilson, Vet Surg, 2014:

  1. Should BURP be performed with visual control or by tactile sensation (blind fashion)?
  2. How can the tendon be elevated away from the medial collateral ligament during arthroscopic BURP?
A

Wilson, Vet Surg, 2014:

  1. BURP should be completed with arthroscopic observation through the distal portion of the tendon release (visual control) because attempting BURP by tactile sensation alone (blind fashion) was not reliable
  2. Placing the elbow in slight supination after meniscal knife placement reduces tension within the tendon, and use of the “saddle” effect of the push knife helps to elevate the tendon away from the medial collateral ligament
