Multiple digital tumours in a rottweiler.
An eight-and-a-half-year-old rottweiler bitch was examined on four separate occasions over a period of 32 months for lameness caused by a mass on a digit. On each occasion the mass and affected digit were amputated. Three different neoplasms were diagnosed: two squamous cell carcinomas, a melanocytoma and an intracutaneous cornifying epithelioma. There was no recurrence following surgical excision.

Comminuted supracondylar humeral fractures repaired with a modified type I external skeletal fixator construct.
Highly comminuted supracondylar humeral fractures were stabilised in six large-breed dogs with a modified type I external fixator using a craniomedial acrylic connecting column and an intramedullary pin which was incorporated into the connecting frame. This construct provided sufficient stability to allow satisfactory bone healing in five of the six dogs, while premature removal of the intramedullary pin and external fixator resulted in subsequent refracture of the humerus in the remaining dog. Limb function at the time of final assessment was considered excellent in two dogs, good in three dogs and poor in one dog. The craniomedial acrylic connecting column simplified application of this modified type I(a) configuration to the humerus by reducing the number of clamps required; the acrylic column also facilitated contouring of the craniomedial connecting column to the brachium and was readily extended proximally to engage the intramedullary pin. In addition, the acrylic connecting column allowed placement of intramedullary pins of varying diameter.

Broncho-oesophageal fistula in two dogs.
Two clinical cases of broncho-oesophageal fistula in the dog are presented. While both cases illustrate the value of oesophagoscopy as a diagnostic tool, one case depicts the complications which may be associated with positive contrast oesophagography. These two cases support previous observations that broncho-oesophageal fistulae are frequently of foreign body aetiology and usually extend from the caudal oesophagus, via the pleural space, to the caudal or middle right lung lobes.

Antebrachial deformities in the dog: treatment with external fixation.
The results of 12 dogs with antebrachial deformity treated by ulnar ostectomy, radial osteotomy and external skeletal fixation are presented. Postoperative complications were seen in only one dog; a delayed union requiring placement of autogenous cancellous bone graft at a second surgery to achieve healing. Postoperatively, owners reported limb function was good in almost all cases, although they were less pleased with the cosmetic appearance.

Ununited anconeal process: lag-screw fixation.
A technique of lag-screw fixation for ununited anconeal process is described, and the results of surgery in eight dogs (on 10 elbows) treated by this technique are presented. Approximation of the process was confirmed postoperatively, and union was confirmed by radiographic followup in six of the 10 forelimbs from two-to-six months after surgery. Four other cases were lost to radiographic follow-up. This report of a limited number of cases suggests encouraging results obtained by lag-screw fixation.

Reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament for tarsocrural luxation in the dog: a preliminary study.
Seven cases of tarsocrural subluxation/luxation resulting from ruptures of the medial collateral ligament were treated by double prosthetic replacement. The technique was a revision of an earlier described method without the use of metallic implants. Six (100%) of six cases not involving additional joint fractures had excellent clinical results with minimal compromise to range of joint motion. In three (50%) of six cases where braided polyester sutures were implanted as the prosthesis, fistulating tracts developed. Drainage resolved with removal of the suture in each of these three cases, and two of the three proceeded to excellent results after replacing the braided suture with monofilament suture.
