Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare accuracy of femoral measurements obtained from different radiographical positions with actual femoral anatomical dimensions in dogs.
Materials And Methods: Craniocaudal projections of the femur in ventrodorsal position, standard craniocaudal radiographical (SR) and craniocaudal radiography with horizontal radiographical beam (HR), in addition to anatomical macroscopic measurements (A), were obtained from 45 femurs from 23 canine cadavers, for calculation of the canal flare index (CFI). The differences between the radiographical positions and 95% limits of agreement (LOA) between the CFI-SR, CFI-HR and CFI-A were evaluated by the Bland-Altman method.
Results: The standard craniocaudal radiograph provided an approximate dimension of the proximal femoral morphology (mean difference: 0.121 ± 0.391) with a different CFI value ( = 0.0341) from CFI-A. The craniocaudal radiograph taken using a horizontal beam provided greater accuracy (mean difference: 0.087 ± 0.42) in our study.
Clinical Significance: The craniocaudal projection using a horizontal radiographical beam was more accurate than the standard craniocaudal projection for measurement of the true anatomical dimensions of the canine femur, minimizing the influence of the technique on the CFI values.

Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Royal Papworth Hospital, Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Objective: Postoperative intraluminal thrombosis after frozen elephant trunk replacement has been reported to occur with a frequency of 6% to 17% and is associated with poor outcomes. The purpose of this institutional review is to analyze thrombosis rate, predisposing patient and operative factors, and assess different anticoagulation regimens.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 174 patients operated on over 10 years.

Background Sacroiliac joint fusion is performed to stabilize and fuse the joint in patients with degenerative sacroiliitis and joint dysfunction. While several posterior techniques and implants exist as alternatives to lateral approaches, biomechanical and clinical performance data for these systems used as standalone remains limited. This article provides a preliminary cadaveric and clinical assessment of a novel posterior intra-articular sacroiliac fusion implant system.

Hip dysplasia in cerebral palsy (CP) is a common and severe problem, especially among nonambulatory patients. A likely cause is muscular imbalance and developmental bone changes leading to a progressive extrusion of the femoral head from the acetabulum. The ideal surgical treatment aims to reduce the dislocated hip to improve pain, positioning, and function.
