Vallefuoco, VCOT, 2014:

Short- and long-term outcomes in cats with T/L fracture-luxations treated with screws and PMMA?

A

Vallefuoco, VCOT, 2014:

50% excellent outcomes, 25% satisfactory outcomes, 25% died in the post-op period due to concomitant injuries

Q

Sturges, Vet Surg, 2016:

Lumbar vertebral stiffness and ROM following stabilization of lumbar vertebrae with bilateral pins + PMMA vs unilateral LCP?

A

Sturges, Vet Surg, 2016:

Lumbar vertebral stiffness was greater with bilateral pins + PMMA, and ROM was reduced with bilateral pins + PMMA, compared to unilateral LCP

Q

Tran, Vet Surg, 2017:
Lateral vs dorsal stabilization of lumbar spinal fracture-luxations

Advantages and disadvantages of the lateral approach?

A

Tran, Vet Surg, 2017:

Advantages: superior for pin angle accuracy and bone purchase - clinically important consequences of breach are less common
Disadvantages: prevents observation of the articular facets

Q

Fujioka, Vet Surg, 2019:
Patient-specific drill guide template

  1. What % of screws were placed without vertebral canal invasion?
  2. Was greater accuracy achieved for screws placed in the cranial lumbar or caudal thoracic vertebrae?
A

Fujioka, Vet Surg, 2019:

  1. 90% of the screws were placed without vertebral canal invasion
  2. Greater accuracy of screw placement was achieved in the cranial lumbar vertebrae than the caudal thoracic vertebrae
