For equine vets, navigating the complexities of dermatological issues in horses can be challenging. Who do you ask for the history - the owner, rider, trainer or groom? How do you ensure every part of the horse is examined thoroughly, from the hooves to the mucous membranes? Dr Regina Wagner’s latest article, "Equine Dermatology Problems – Useful Laboratory Diagnostics," delves deep into these questions and more, providing valuable insights and a step-by-step guide to effective dermatological examinations.

🐶🔎 Today on Radimal Case Rounds, Dr. Weissman explores a challenging gastrointestinal case. We're delving deep into the belly of a dog with some mysterious findings! 🧐 Our patient shows a moderately distended stomach and intriguing small intestine issues, hinting at a possible mechanical obstruction. Could it be a linear foreign body? The quest for clarity continues with an abdominal ultrasound and potential exploratory surgery. 🚑💡 👉 Curious about what's inside? Stay tuned for updates and don't hesitate to drop your questions below! Follow us for more fun veterinary cases. #radimal #radimalai #radimalcaserounds #veterinaryradiology

Today we wanted to bring some cases closer to you, in which the 3D visualization helped a lot in the surgery decision making! In general this is such an important step, as everybodys time & well-being depends on it in the end. 🙏 To really be able to see into the details of a case, so close & so precisely - that is one of the huge advantages of personalized 3D visualizations! For you & your patients. #limesvet #innovation #3dprinting #datavisualization #bioengineering #3dmodeling #vet #veterinaryclinic #veterinarypractice #veterinarytools #neurosurgery #veterinarytoolsandmedicalsupplies #animalsurgery

The patellar tendon angle (PTA) is the angle subtended between the axis of the tibia and the patellar tendon and is positively correlated as an intrinsic risk factor of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in veterinary patients. Therefore, one of the surgical treatments used in animal knees is the tibial tubercle advancement (TTA), which reduces the PTA and, thus, ACL stress. So why not propose this surgery for humans as well? Today, I am pleased to share this new study conducted at the Centre Lyon Ortho Clinic, Clinique de la Sauvegarde, where we compared the PTA of a group of patients with ACL rupture and a control group, and we found that the PTA were not elevated in the study group. Therefore, the TTA is not justified in humans, and methods to reduce the PTA should focus on prehabilitation and rehabilitation. Nicolas CANCE, Michael Dan, Tomas Pineda, Guillaume DEMEY, David H.

What’s the relationship with the patellar tendon vector and the ACL??? The patellar tendon angle changes with knee flexion… as the knee is extended, the patellar tendon angle increases, resulting in a larger anterior shear component of quadriceps force acting on the tibia and a larger ACL strain. Vets modify this angle through surgery on the tibial tuberosity as one treatment option for dogs with Cranial Cruciate ligament rupture (synonymous with the ACL in humans). #zoobiquity By increasing knee flexion during landing, this vector, along with ACL strain, can be reduced. In this paper we failed to demonstrate anatomical differences in those with ACL rupture compared to controls, suggesting the best way to modify this vector in humans is through modifying knee flexion with functional activities, not with surgery.

The second day of the International Internal Brace Study Group in Milan is slowly drawing to a close. Behind us are many interesting presentations on internal bracing in the treatment of ligament injuries of the knee, ankle, shoulder and many others and also applications in veterinary medicine. Extremely interesting in my opinion was the session on biological support for healing of ligament and tendon injuries. I am glad that I was able to learn a lot and, at the same time, share my experience on the use of internal bracing in collateral ligament injuries and also on promoting healing with cell therapies.  #internalbracing #orthopedics #cells #celltherapies
