Objective- To evaluate the clinical safety and superiority of monopolar and bipolar electrocauter in laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy in dogs. Design-Elective experimental study Animals- Twenty four mixed breed healthy adult female dogs. Procedures-The dogs divided into two equal groups. Laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy performed using either monopolar (n=12) or bipolar (n=12) electrocoagulati...

Many surgical techniques aimed to obtain an anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the hamstrings tendons are described in the literature. All of these techniques encompass the detachment of the tibial insertion of the hamstrings tendons, thus damaging the neurovascular supply of the tendons and resulting in lower residual proprioceptivity and worse ligamentization of the gr...

Two cases with open, comminuted, axially displaced fractures of the proximal third fourth metatarsal bone were referred to University Equine Hospital Vienna. Due concerns regarding risk injury suspensory ligament and implant infection an open configuration, surgical treatment ostectomy fractured was performed in both cases. Based on telephone follow-up, Case 1 reported be sound no significant r...

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries usually constitute part of a multiligament injury. Isolated PCL injuries account for only approximately 3% of all ligament injuries. No consensus on optimal surgical reconstruction exists. The PCL is a double-bundle structure that functions in an anisometric manner. Biomechanical studies have shown that re-creating the PCL femoral double-bundle configu...
