Supraspinatus Tendon Injuries
Tendinopathy or rupture of the supraspinatus leading to shoulder pain and compensatory gait changes. Options include rehab, PRP or other biologics, and surgical repair when structural failure is present.

Surgical Approach to the Elbow for Lateral Condylar Fracture Repair
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.
-
Stifle Osteoarthritis (OA)
Degenerative changes in the stifle joint, often secondary to cruciate rupture or luxation. Management includes pain control, mobility preservation, and surgical options for advanced cases.

Lateral Condylar Fracture Repair Options
Jonathan Suber, DVM, DACVS-SA (Columbia, SC), reviews current repair options for lateral condylar fractures, including cortical transcondylar screw and K-wire fixation, QuickFix transcondylar screw and K-wire fixation, and lateral plating, in a canine cadaver.
-
Fracture Forces
W. Michael Karlin, DVM, DACVS-SA, DACVS-LA (North Grafton, MA), describes the different forces that affect bone fractures.

Application of the InternalBrace™ Repair Option for the TPLO Locking Plate
Antonio Pozzi, DVM, DACVS-SA (Zurich, Switzerland), demonstrates how to apply the InternalBrace™ repair option with the Arthrex tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plate. Using a PEEK SwiveLock® anchor and FiberTape® suture material, the surgeon can reduce any internal rotation that...
-
Shoulder Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)
A developmental cartilage disorder leading to flap formation and joint inflammation in the canine shoulder. Common in large-breed dogs, it affects the caudal humeral head and often requires arthroscopic removal for pain relief and improved function.

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Ruptures
The most common cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs, resulting from ligament degeneration or trauma. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore stifle function and prevent the development of secondary osteoarthritis.
-
OrthoLine™ Acetabular Plate Application
Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), demonstrates the application of the OrthoLine™ acetabular plate for acetabular fracture repair.

Bone Defects
Critical-size or traumatic bone defects pose a challenge to natural healing. Biologic therapies, such as PRP and bone graft substitutes, promote osteogenesis and accelerate repair, leading to improved structural integrity.

Surgical Approach to the Ilium for Fracture Repair
Mark Rochat, DVM, DACVS (West Lafayette, IN), demonstrates the surgical approach to the illium for ilial fracture repair using a gluteal roll-up. He also highlights key anatomical structures encountered during dissection and shares tips and tricks for improving visualization.
