Radiocarpal arthrodesis revision with a pyrocarbon implant
We report the case of a patient who was dissatisfied with the outcome of radiocarpal arthrodesis, due to lack of motion despite complete absence of pain. We replaced arthrodesis by a pyrocarbon interposition implant. At 20 months' follow-up, the results showed complete absence of pain, partially restored range of motion and the implant in good position on radiographs. We believe that pyrocarbon implants may be a solution for patients dissatisfied with palliative treatment by arthrodesis.PMID:37709254 | DOI:10.1016/j.hansur.2023.08.010

Metastatic thyroid carcinoma in the appendicular skeleton and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy site of a dog
Can Vet J. 2023 Feb;64(2):132-136.ABSTRACTA 13-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever cross dog was referred to the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Tufts University for evaluation of a metastatic carcinoma discovered at the site of a previous tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). The dog was previously evaluated at the primary care veterinarian for a complaint of lameness, and radiographs of the previous TPLO site revealed bony lysis associated with the TPLO plate. Surgical exploration of the site by the primary veterinarian provided evidence of osteolysis. The lytic area of the proximal tibia was biopsied, and...
