A Retrospective Study on Patellar Desmopathy Following Surgical Resolution of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture in 28 Dogs [PDF]
Cranial cruciate ligament rupture is the most common orthopedic condition in dogs, causing lameness, joint instability, and discomfort due to its role in knee stability. Surgical treatment, particularly osteotomies in the proximal tibia, is the preferred

Assessment of MR-Induced Heating Effects in Four Common Veterinary Implants at 1.5 and 3.0 T: A Phantom Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Quantitative evaluation of implant‐related heating in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is well standardized in human medicine, whereas evidence in veterinary medicine remains scarce. To address this gap, we measured radiofrequency (RF)‐induced heating of four used veterinary implants under controlled conditions on clinical 3.0 and 1.5 T MRI ...

Kinetics of Regenerating Protein 3E and C-Reactive Protein in Healthy Dogs, Dogs Undergoing Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, and Dogs With Sepsis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Serial measurements of acute‐phase proteins help monitor the development of and recovery from sepsis in people and dogs. To date, the kinetics of regenerating protein (REG) 3E, a novel biomarker for inflammation in dogs, are unknown.

Modified Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy in a Cat With a Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture and a Concurrent Medial Patellar Luxation. [PDF]
A 12‐year‐old castrated male Russian Blue cat presented with cranial cruciate ligament rupture and concurrent grade 3 medial patellar luxation. A modified tibial plateau‐levelling osteotomy (mTPLO) using an Arix‐vet plate with a 2‐mm offset was performed, simultaneously correcting cranial tibial thrust and patellar luxation in a single procedure.
