Understanding the mechanical principles that determine the performance of implants, how
the implants and bone interact, and the subsequent mechanical environment of the fracture …

Cats are not referred to specialists as frequently as dogs, meaning the general practitioner
must routinely treat cats that have been involved in road traffic accidents and other …

Practical relevance: The femur is the most commonly fractured bone in cats. Femoral
fractures usually result from high-velocity trauma such as a road traffic accident or fall from a …

Objective To describe medium‐term functional outcome after nail osteosynthesis in feline
traumatology and report clinically relevant recommendations for I‐Loc angle‐stable …

Introduction: Critical-sized long bone defects represent a major therapeutic challenge and
current treatment strategies are not without complication. Tissue engineering holds much …

Objective To describe early clinical experience with a newly designed interlocking nail
system (Targon® Vet) in diaphyseal fractures in cats and small dogs. Study Design …

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been considered as an alternative for
fracture treatment. Previous study has demonstrated that MIPO technique has the advantage …

Objective To compare the torsional behavior of two small angle‐stable interlocking nails (I‐
Loc and Targon) with that of locking compression plates (LCP). To evaluate the effect of …

Objective To describe the mechanical characteristics of a novel angle‐stable interlocking
nail (NAS‐ILN) and compare them to those of a locking compression plate (LCP) by using a …

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of linear external skeletal
fixation (ESF) applied using minimally invasive techniques in dogs and cats. Study design …
