Abstract This study aimed to report a case of multiple cartilaginous exostoses (MCE) causing severe cervical myelopathy in a puppy dog. An 80-day-old Dachshund cross weighing 2.2 kg presented with progressive development of non-ambulatory tetraparesis, proprioceptive ataxia in all four limbs, and cervical hyperesthesia. Multiple calcified masses in the cervical spine at the levels of C1–C2 and C4–C7, with several points of spinal cord compression, were identified. Ventral atlantoaxial fusion was performed. Four days later, four masses were surgically removed by dorsal laminectomy of C1–C2 and C4–C7, and a right facetectomy between C4 and C5 was performed. Multiple cartilaginous exostoses were confirmed by histopathological examination. Thirty-six months after surgery, the patient showed no recurrence of neurological signs. Ventral atlantoaxial fusion, and surgical removal of MCE masses followed by decompression was effective on alleviating clinical sings in the short and medium term.

Abstract The aim of this study was to report the outcome in a 6-year-old male English Setter dog that suffered a combination of divergent elbow dislocation and open distal ulnar fracture. This study is a case report. After surgical reduction in the elbow luxation, the dog was treated with the TightRope fixation system used as replacement of the lateral collateral ligament, a radioulnar positional screw, and external skeletal fixation. Removal of all implants was performed 3 months postoperatively. The 6-month follow-up visit found the dog without lameness, displaying normal activity, and with normal elbow range of motion and normal Campbell's test. Successful surgical management was achieved with good long-term results using TightRope, a positional screw, and an external skeletal fixator.

Abstract The aim of this study was to report a posttraumatic partial Achilles tendon (AT) rupture associated with lateral luxation of the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) in a Whippet. This article is a brief communication. A Whippet was presented with posttraumatic plantigrade stance and non-load-bearing lameness of the right pelvic limb. The objective findings consisted in partial AT rupture and SDFT lateral luxation. Surgical treatment ensued: tenorrhaphy of the torn tendons and calcaneo-tibial screw insertion for tarsal immobilization, followed by suturing of the SDFT retinaculum. A casting bandage was employed for additional immobilization. Nonetheless, a bandage complication prompted the premature removal of the fixation screw and casting wrap. Complete functional recovery was achieved by the 20th postoperative week. The simultaneous occurrence of SDFT luxation and partial AT tear has not been reported in the literature before. The long-term postoperative functional outcome was highly satisfactory.

Abstract Bugio monkeys (Alouatta caraya) need their arms for locomotion, hygiene, and defence, and possess well-developed dexterity of their hands, depending on them for proper feeding. For this reason, appropriate treatment of thoracic limb fractures is not only essential but also challenging in this species. This report describes the successful treatment of a radial fracture associated with luxation of the radial head in a female, adult Alouatta caraya. The patient was admitted after a suspected traumatic event with a complete transverse fracture of the right radial diaphysis and subluxation of the ipsilateral radius head. Using a craniomedial approach to the radius, surgical stabilization was performed using a 1.7 mm micro series Fixin locking plate after open reduction in bone fragments. The patient had early use of the limb (24 hours postoperatively) and progressive improvement in its usual activities over the following weeks. Radiographic monitoring was performed at 30, 60, and 360 days postoperatively, and bone healing occurred with no complications. The treatment of fractures in primates is potentially challenging, requiring adaptation to primate anatomy and the specific living conditions of the species. Open reduction and stabilization of the radial fracture with a plate and manually reducing the luxated radial head effectively lead to long-term restoration of full function and of normal activities.

Abstract The aim of this report is to describe an unusual localization of nerve sheath tumour (NST), clinical presentation, imaging, surgical management, and outcome in a 2-year-old dog. A 2-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier presented with nonambulatory paraparesis, thoracolumbar hyperaesthesia, hindlimb hyperreflexia, and mild muscle atrophy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extradural mass at T7-T8, without vertebral lesions. Surgical treatment consisted in resection of the soft tissue mass through dorsal laminectomy. The dog was ambulatory within 24 hours and free of recurrence at 18 months postoperatively. Histopathologic and features of immunohistochemistry were consistent with NST. The NST of this report was similar to those described before, but exhibited unusual characteristics, such as being extradural, without extension into intervertebral foramina, and being located in an atypical region (T7-T8). Moreover, survival time and relapse-free interval are greater than previously reported for similar cases.

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the clinical use of a titanium locking plate and screws as an adjunct for the surgical treatment of an open, transverse, mid-body patellar fracture. A 2-year-old crossbreed dog was diagnosed with an open, transverse, mid-body patellar fracture. Initial fracture reduction and compression were achieved with two parallel Kirschner wires and a figure of eight tension band wire. This was followed by a titanium locking plate and screws placed on the cranial aspect of the patella. A transarticular circular external skeletal fixator was used as an additional augmentation for 5 weeks. Wire failure was noted in the transarticular circular external skeletal fixator at 10 days postoperation, necessitating wire replacement. Complete return to previous activity level and progressive radiographic osseous union were observed 8 weeks after surgery. Breakage of the Kirschner wires at the proximal pole of the patella was noted 3 years after surgery and explantation of all implants was performed. Recheck evaluation at 8 months after explantation confirmed full return to athletic function. This case report described the clinical use of a locking plate and screws as an adjunct for transverse patellar fracture repair and its long-term functional outcome.

Abstract This case report describes distal tibiofibular arthrodesis as a technique for achieving increased confluent bone support for the placement of oversized arthroplasty components for talocrural arthroplasty in an 18-month-old Labrador Retriever with talocrural osteoarthritis secondary to talar osteochondrosis. Computed tomography assessment for suitability for BioMedtrix canine ankle replacement surgery revealed the tibia to be undersized relative to the tibial component. Distal tibiofibular arthrodesis was performed to increase lateral bone support to permit placement of an otherwise oversized prosthesis. Subjective assessment of outcome with owner Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs questionnaire to 6 months postoperatively as well as radiological assessment to 4 months postoperatively documented significant improvement in lameness in the operated limb with no complications. Distal tibiofibular arthrodesis is a means by which to achieve increased bone support prior to BioMedtrix canine total ankle replacement surgery. The surgical technique described herein permitted placement of an oversized talocrural prosthesis in this patient with good clinical function. This technique may permit use of this arthroplasty system in otherwise undersized patients until such a time that smaller implants are available from the manufacturer.

Abstract The objective of this review is to detail the clinical and radiographic features of septic physitis in foals. Medical records were evaluated from 2008 to 2018 of cases that had septic physitis based on a combination of clinical and radiographic findings. Ten foals were diagnosed with septic physitis. In 8 of 10 foals, presence of a discrete, focal, irregular radiolucency centred on the physis and extending into the epiphysis and metaphysis was present. In the remaining two foals, subtle irregularity and diffuse radiolucency along the length of the physis was present. Three foals were able to later perform athletic function and two were sound but not in training (mean follow-up = 12 months). Overall, a distinguishing radiographic feature of septic physitis in foals is the presence of a focal radiolucency centred on the physis which is associated with the epiphysis and metaphysis consistent with osteolysis.

Abstract A 6-month-old neutered male dog presented for investigation of right thoracic limb lameness of 6-week duration following an acute injury. Radiography and computed tomography revealed focal osteolysis of the intermedioradial carpal bone. Histopathology of the bone revealed osteonecrosis, bone resorption, fibrous proliferation and new bone formation suggestive of avascular necrosis. Pancarpal arthrodesis was performed to stabilize the carpus and resulted in resolution of lameness and return to normal exercise. Avascular necrosis of carpal bones is rare and unreported in skeletally immature dogs. The imaging and histopathological changes in this dog's intermedioradial carpal bone bear strong similarity to Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and the two presentations may have a similar traumatic vascular pathology.

Abstract A 12-year-old, female spayed crossbred dog was presented for traumatic injuries sustained after being hit by a car. The dog was non-ambulatory with a right-sided head tilt on presentation, neurological deficits and signs of external trauma centred on the head. A trauma computed tomography was performed which revealed an atlanto-occipital luxation with narrowing of the vertebral canal. This was treated successfully via closed reduction and confirmed with a repeat computed tomography scan. The dog recovered well following the atlanto-occipital luxation reduction, and was ambulatory the day after the reduction, and neurological signs resolved within 2 days.
