A review of 79 cases of canine humeral condylar fractures was made to establish the distribution of breed, age and cause of injury and to correlate these with the fracture type.
The literature on plain film evaluation of the canine liver is reviewed and the problems associated with radiographic hepatometry in this species and in man are outlined. Methods used to determine liver size in man are briefly described. Liver measurements obtained from lateral recumbent radiographs of 20 German Shepherd Dogs were examined statistically. The ratio of a measurement of liver length to second lumbar vertebra body length was found to be of statistical value, as was the relative position of the junction separating left medial, right medial and quadrate lobes from a further part of the right medial and left lateral lobes. The extrapolation of these results to other breeds is discussed.
The method of fixation of lateral condylar, medial condylar and intercondylar fractures of the humerus in 79 dogs is described. Follow‐up examinations were carried out to evaluate the success of fracture repair.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
