  • Title: Endoprosthesis (EN) in frontlimb-sparing surgery for distal radial tumours in the dog: preliminary results.
    Author: Venzin C, Grundmann S, Montavon P.
    Journal: Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd; 2012 Aug; 154(8):337-43. PubMed ID: 22851433.
    Abstract:
    In veterinary medicine, limb-sparing techniques are most implemented when the uninvolved limbs are affected by other orthopaedic or neurological disorders, in large breeds or when the owner declines amputation. This report describes the surgical technique used for implantation of an endoprosthesis following tumour resection in the distal radius in 3 dogs using both standard and angle-stable plates. Endoprosthesis offers an easy and readily available surgical alternative to cortical allografts. Despite post-operative complications, this technique resulted in a good quality of life in all 3 dogs.
