regarding surgical techniques from the perspective of clinicians who are performing specific�…

In an effort to improve on the poor functional outcomes associated with external fixation or
coaptation, and/or long-term patient immobilization, starting in the late 1950s, open�…

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis
(MIPO) for nonarticular tibial fractures stabilized using bone plates with or without an�…

Objective—To determine outcome for dogs and cats with diaphyseal fractures in which a
plate-rod construct was used for fracture repair. Design—Retrospective study. Animals—35�…

The locking compression plate (LCP) supports biological osteosynthesis by functioning as
an internal fixator, rather than as a full or limited contact bone plate which must be�…
