    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to assess whether negative pressure could be maintained accurately and repeatably with a wall-suction-based hybrid negative pressure wound therapy (h-NPWT) system by comparing it with a commercial negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device.
    Study design: In vitro experimental study.
    Methods: A commercial NPWT device (control) and three h-NPWT devices, with 0, 3, and 6 meters of additional tubing using the hospital-wall suction (groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively), were applied sequentially to a commercial NPWT dressing on a silicone skin substrate and set to run at a continuous pressure of -125 mmHg. The pressure within the wound space was monitored at 10 second intervals for 24 h. The process was repeated five times for each group.
    Results: The commercial NPWT device produced an average pressure variance of 3.02 mmHg, and the h-NPWT produced average variances of 4.38, 4.24 and 4.20 mmHg for groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. All groups produced an average pressure within 0.15 mmHg of -125 mmHg over the 24-hour period, and the h-NPWT systems produced the smallest range with all values remaining within a ±5% variation from -125 mmHg.
    Conclusion: The h-NPWT system achieved negative pressures that were comparable to those of a commercial control NPWT device. The addition of tubing between the skin substrate and the canister did not affect the pressure applied at the wound site.
    Clinical significance: The h-NPWT device tested in this study can be considered as an alternative for negative wound therapy when a commercial device cannot be used.

    Abstract Objective:  The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and complications of dogs that had pancarpal arthrodesis (PCA) using a titanium hybrid advanced locking plate system (ALPS) and stainless steel hybrid dynamic compression plate (HDCP).
    Study design:  Retrospective observational study.
    Methods:  Medical records (2007-2020) were reviewed for cases that had PCA performed using ALPS or HDCP. Implant characteristics including metacarpal coverage (MCov), metacarpal width occupied by screw diameter percentage and carpal arthrodesis angle (CAA), complications and outcomes were recorded.
    Results:  Pancarpal arthrodesis was performed with ALPS on 15 limbs from 12 dogs, and HDCP on 14 limbs from 11dogs. Median follow-up time was 1,157 days (range: 62-1,902 days) for ALPS group and 340 days (range: 43-1,465 days) for HDCP. Median MCov for ALPS group was 74% (range: 60-87.5%) compared with 56.5% (range: 49.7-91.3%) for HDCP (
    Conclusion:  The use of ALPS offers comparable performance to HDCP for PCA.

    Abstract Congenital humeroradial subluxation was diagnosed by clinical examination and radiography in a 16-week-old female dog that presented for left forelimb lameness. This was treated surgically by open reduction followed by placement of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene suture from the craniolateral aspect of the proximal radius to the caudomedial aspect of the ulna, secured with a toggle and suture button. Postoperative findings were consistent with clinical improvement and radiographs were compatible with resolution of elbow subluxation. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of congenital humeroradial subluxation to be managed with an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene suture toggle.

Median MCov for ALPS group was 74% (range: 60–87.5%) compared with 56.5% (range: 49.7–91.3%) for HDCP ( p  = 0.001). There was no difference in CAA and metacarpal width to screw diameter percentage between ALPS and HDCP group. Major and minor complications and surgical site infection rates were not statistically different between the two groups. Plate fracture occurred in 2/15 ALPS PCA and screw loosening occurred in 4/14 HDCP PCA. Full function was achieved in 8/12 and 8/11 of ALPS and HDCP cases, respectively, which was not statistically different ( p  = 0.76).
    Conclusion: The use of ALPS offers comparable performance to HDCP for PCA

    Abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe the postoperative complications and long‐term functional outcome after surgical management of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) by transcondylar screw (TCS) placement. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Nineteen dogs (26 elbows) METHODS: Medical records (2000–2009) were reviewed for dogs with a diagnosis of HIF according to results of computed tomography and treated by TCS placement at a single referral institution. Collected data included signalment, surgical technique, surgical duration, surgeon experience, use of antibiotics, and the presence and nature of any complications. Owner questionnaire, orthopedic examination, and pressure platform analysis were used to assess long‐term outcome. The relationship between these variables was statistically analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 18 of 26 surgically managed elbows were diagnosed with a postoperative complication; 11 of these consisted of a surgical site infection (SSI). No risk factors for short‐term complications or long‐term outcome were identified. Dogs with an SSI (n = 11) were 28 times more likely to have an unsatisfactory long‐term outcome than dogs without an SSI (n = 8). Symmetry indices (SI) between thoracic and pelvic limbs did not return to published normal values. There was no difference in the SI of dogs with HIF and a surgically repaired contralateral humeral condylar fracture. CONCLUSION: Placement of a TCS was commonly associated with short‐term complications, affecting long‐term outcome. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The high complication rate after placement of lateromedial TCS provides evidence to justify the development of alternative strategies to manage HIF.

    Abstract Objective: To retrospectively review and describe the incidence of complications associated with tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) surgical procedures in a group of Boxer dogs (n = 36 stifles) and compare the data with a non-Boxer control population (n = 271 stifles).
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records to identify all dogs that underwent TTA surgery due to cranial cruciate ligament disease. These records were categorized into two groups: Boxer dogs and non-Boxer dogs (controls - all other breeds).
    Results: Of the 307 stifles included, 69 complications were reported in 58 joints. The complication rate differed significantly for Boxer dogs (16/36 stifles) and non-Boxer dogs (42/271 stifles), corresponding to an odds ratio of 5.8 (confidence interval: 1.96-17.02; p-value <0.001). Boxer dogs were more likely to undergo revision surgery and to develop multiple complications. The incidence of tibial tuberosity fractures requiring surgical repair (2/36 versus 1/271) and incisional infections requiring antibiotic treatment (three in each group) was significantly higher in the Boxer group.
    Clinical significance: Boxer dogs had more major and multiple complications after TTA surgery than the control non-Boxer group; these complications included higher rates of revision surgery, tibial tuberosity fractures requiring stabilization, and infection related complications. The pertinence and value of breed-specific recommendations for cranial cruciate ligament disease appears to be a subject worthy of further investigation.
