A biomechanical comparison of external skeletal fixation and plating for the stabilization of ilial osteotomies in dogs
Summary This in vitro study compares the biomechanical properties of two methods of ilial fracture repair in dogs. Ten pelves were harvested from skeletally mature mixed breed dogs weighing 20–27 kg and bilateral oblique ilial body os- teotomies were created. One hemipelvis from each dog was stabilized with a 2.7 mm plate and screws and […]
