  • Title: Central tarsal implant in a racing greyhound.
    Author: Yocham GD, Sanderson C, Rounds P, Bloebaum RD.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1988 Oct 01; 193(7):840-2. PubMed ID: 3192464.
    Abstract:
    Although most type IV fractures in dogs can be treated with screw fixation, type V fractures usually lead to an unsuccessful clinical result. A central tarsal replacement composed of a titanium alloy was developed by our investigation team to treat type V fractures. The implant was used to successfully treat a greyhound and to allow it to return to racing. Continual development of this new surgical procedure hopefully will give the veterinarian predictable and reliable clinical results and return injured greyhounds to active racing.
