[Mandibular fractures in cattle--treatment and results].

The results of a retrospective investigation of 25 cases of mandibular fractures in cattle are reported; 19 animals were treated and 6 slaughtered without therapy. Five cases of unilateral fracture of the pars molaris healed with conservative therapy, whereas the same method of treatment was unsuccessful in four cases with compound fractures (2 x pars incisiva, 1 x diastema, 1 x pars molaris) and in one with multiple fractures of the corpus and ramus of the mandible. For animals with symphyseal fractures, surgical fixation using cerclage wire (three cases) proved successful, as did percutaneous fixation in six animals with fractures of the diastema or body of the mandible. The fractures healed well in 14 out of 19 treated cattle and the animals were retained, on average, for a further four years.

[Small intestinal ileus in the dog and cat--catamnestic observations of 704 patients].

Following an introductory review of the literature, the symptoms, diagnostic procedures and aetiology as well as treatment, long-term results and prognosis of the individual forms of ileus are described and discussed, based on the clinical histories of 704 patients with ileus of the small intestine. Whereas ileal obstipation and other forms of obstructive ileus were revealed to have a fair prognosis, a long-term cure could be achieved in only half of the patients with either a string foreign body, intussusception or an intestinal adhesion. The prognosis in cases of malignant intestinal tumours, intestinal adhesions resulting from intra-abdominal tumours and mesenteric volvulus was hopeless.

[The clinical picture of multiple enchondromatosis in the dog].

The clinical and radiological findings of three related Miniature Poodles with multiple enchondromatosis (Ollier's disease) are presented. Persisting, in part ossified growth plate cartilage foci were found bilaterally in the humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia and fibula of each dog and in one dog in some metacarpal and metatarsal bones. The ribs and many vertebral bodies were also affected. There was evidently no bone formation in the sternebrae. All three dogs first attracted attention at the ages of four to six months, with spontaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures. The mode of inheritance of the condition is not yet clear, but based on the known pedigree data a dominant effect appears unlikely.

[Replacement of the hip joint in the dog].

Hundreds of total hip replacements in dogs have been performed at the Ohio State University of Veterinary Medicine since August 1976. Dogs with disabling diseases or conditions of the hip are candidates for the THR. The technique provides the dog with a pain free, mechanically sound ball and socket joint. The most commonly encountered complication is dislocation, while the most disastrous complication is infection. Complications can be minimized through adherence to detail during the procedure. By following strict aseptic principles, surgical technique and postoperative care, successful hip function has been achieved in 94.7% of the cases.

[Proximal femoral fractures in cats and dogs].

Fractures of the femoral head, neck and greater trochanter including physeal separations are common in the growing dog and cat. These lesions are discussed and illustrated from the standpoints of the anatomy and pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis and surgical therapy. The prognosis is favorable under the conditions of early anatomical reduction, gentle tissue handling to preserve the blood supply and stable internal fixation. Persistent avascular necrosis of the femoral head as seen in human patients does not appear as a complication in small animals. This review is based on 235 internal fixations out of which 145 are reevaluated clinically as well as radiographically.
