Medial Coronoid Fragments
Fragmentation of the medial coronoid process of the ulna, a key component of elbow dysplasia. Causes pain and joint instability; arthroscopic fragment removal is commonly performed.

Jonathan Suber, DVM, DACVS-SA (Columbia, SC), demonstrates the surgical approach to the lateral aspect of the canine elbow for repair of lateral condylar fractures.
Cystic lesions that may cause persistent lameness. Treatment includes imaging-guided planning, arthroscopic debridement, and screw placement.
Infection within the bursa, often secondary to penetrating trauma. Requires urgent surgical lavage and targeted antimicrobial treatment.
Focal lesions within the bursa or adjacent structures that contribute to pain and dysfunction. Arthroscopic debridement may be indicated.
Susan Schaefer, DVM, DACVS (Madison, WI), reviews the modes of plate application: compression, neutralization, and bridging. Dr. Schaefer discusses how to distinguish among the three modes, how each relates to load sharing, and how to assess whether additional implants may...
Chuck Walls, DVM, DACVS (Concord, CA), demonstrates the reduced implantation technique for a coxofemoral luxation repair using the TightRope® system.
Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), provides a comprehensive overview of surgical approaches and techniques used in shoulder stabilization procedures.
This video provides an overview of standard arthroscopy instrumentation.
Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), explains the key anatomical structures responsible for stabilizing the canine shoulder.
Matthew Johnson, DVM, DACVS-SA (Gainesville, FL), demonstrates the canine tarsal stabilization technique in a cadaveric specimen.
A complex, multi-articulation joint located between the radius and metacarpus that functions in weight-bearing, shock absorption, and locomotion. Disorders of the carpus include osteochondral injury, synovitis, fractures, subchondral bone disease, and osteoarthritis.
Fracture of the ilium, commonly resulting from high-impact trauma. Surgical fixation may be necessary for displaced fractures to maintain pelvic alignment and weight-bearing function.
Susan Schaefer, DVM, DACVS (Madison, WI), describes the stages of bone healing in the canine patient.
Jose Garcia-Lopez, VMD, DACVS, DACVSMR (Philadelphia, PA), demonstrates the arthroscopic technique for examining the digital flexor sheath in an equine cadaveric specimen.
Penetrating injuries can introduce foreign material into the joint, resulting in inflammation or infection. Arthroscopic removal is typically required.
Displacement of the patella from its normal groove, commonly seen in small breeds. Surgical correction addresses malalignment and prevents cartilage wear, as well as chronic pain.
Abnormal bone growth causing misalignment of the stifle and surrounding joints. Corrective osteotomy restores limb alignment and improves weight-bearing function.
Kevin McAbee, DVM, DACVS-SA (Fort Collins, CO), discusses the steps for implant site preparation and the application of the SwiveLock® anchor for stifle stabilization
