Influence of partial lateral corpectomy with and without hemilaminectomy on canine thoracolumbar stability: a biomechanical study.
To analyze the biomechanical changes induced by partial lateral corpectomy (PLC) and a combination of PLC and hemilaminectomy in a T13-L3 spinal segment in nonchondrodystrophic dogs. ⋯ PLC might lead to some spinal instability; these changes are enhanced when a hemilaminectomy is added.

Comparison of the effects of two screw insertion patterns on bone fragment translocation in a 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate and a 3.5 mm limited-contact dynamic compression plate.
To compare the effects of screw insertion pattern, plate type, application of bone reduction forceps, and additional load screw insertion in an 8-hole 3.5 mm dynamic compression plate (DCP) and limited-contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) on bone fragment translocation (BFT) in a fracture gap model. ⋯ A tight neutral screw in the same bone fragment as the load screw or bone clamps that tightly secure the plate to the bone can limit BFT.
