Study Design�� Case series. Animals�� Toy breed dogs (n=8) with congenital or traumatic AA instability. Methods�� The AA joint of each dog was surgically stabilized through a dorsal approach using the original or a modified version of the Kishigami AATB. Pre- and postoperative neurologic status, radiographs, http://www.selleckchem.com/products/ABT-263.html and complications were reviewed. Follow-up examination was performed at 1 and 12 months. Results�� Functional improvement occurred in 5 dogs; 1 dog did not improve or worsen and 2 dogs were euthanatized at owner request. Adequate reduction and stabilization was achieved in 7 dogs based on immediate postoperative radiographs; failure of reduction was evident in 1 dog. No relevant complications occurred. Conclusions�� Kishigami AATB may http://www.selleckchem.com/products/abt-199.html be acceptable as an alternative method for dorsal stabilization of AA subluxation in toy breed dogs in which use of ventral screws or pins is challenging. Experience with this technique in a larger population is necessary to compare our results to those reported by ventral approach. Clinical Relevance�� The surgical technique described is effective, safe, and simple in the surgical treatment of AA subluxation in toy breed dogs. ""To (1) determine suction tip (intermittent and continuous mode) contamination rate in orthopedic surgery in dogs and cats; (2) examine the effect of surgical time on contamination; and (3) report bacteria isolated. Clinical study. Clean orthopedic surgeries (n = 50). Surgical procedures were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: (1) continuous (n = 25) or (2) intermittent suction (n = 25). A control suction was operated in each surgery. Samples for aerobic and anaerobic bacteriologic examination were collected from the surgical suction at 0, 20, 60 minutes, http://www.selleck.cn/products/CP-690550.html and at the end of surgery, and from the control suction at the end of the surgery only. Comparison of continuous and intermittent suction data, and the effect of surgical time on contamination rate were analyzed using a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis followed by a Cox proportional hazards model.
