Extraction resistance of 2.7 mm medio-lateral-placed cortical screws compared with 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm cranio-caudal-placed cortical screws in canine cadaver radii
Abstract:SummaryMedial placement of a 2.7 mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) has been proposed as an alternative to cranial placement of a 3.5 DCP for the treatment of mid-diaphyseal to metaphyseal radial fractures in dogs (13, 17). The purpose of this study was to compare the extraction strength of 2.7 mm screws placed in a medio-lateral (ML) plane with both 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm screws placed in a cranio-caudal (CC) plane in canine cadaver radii.Comparisons between these three screw orientations were evaluated by placing… Show more
Medial plating for carpal panarthrodesis is a valid alternative method that can be used in dogs with injuries to the carpus for which panarthrodesis of the carpal joint is indicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
