Proximal femoral varization osteotomy is a well-established surgical procedure in children with severe hip problems. This study aimed to evaluate the fixation stability and stiffness of two new implant systems. A biomechanical testing model was created with a total of 12 synthetic femora. Proximal femoral varization osteotomy was performed in every femur, and the synthetic femora were fixed with two different implant systems (PediLoc Locking Proximal Femur Plate System versus PediLoc Locking Cannulated Blade Plate System; OrthoPediatrics, Warsaw, IN, USA). The average torsional stiffness of the locking plate group was higher than for the cannulated blade plate group. Differences in internal and external rotations were seen between the two groups, but they were not significant. Using the tested implants in severe osteoporotic bones might show other results. Therefore, it might be helpful to use the locking plate system in osteoporotic bones and in cases of revision operations where stability is of critical focus.

SummaryObjectives: To describe the use of the Fixin locking plate system for stifle arthrodesis in dogs and to retrospectively report the clinical and radiographic outcomes in six cases.[uni2028]Materials and methods: Medical records of dogs that had arthrodesis with the Fixin locking plate system were reviewed. For each patient, data pertaining to signalment and implant used were recorded. Plate series and thickness, number of screws placed, number of cortices engaged, and screw diameters were also recorded. The outcome was determined from clinical and radiographic followups. Radiographic outcomes assessed included the measurement of the postoperative femoral-tibial angle in the sagittal plane.Results: Six dogs met the inclusion criteria for the study. Mean body weight was 13 kg (range: 3 - 34 kg). Radiographic follow-up (mean: 32 weeks, range: 3 - 52 weeks) was available for all dogs. In one case, an intra-operative complication occurred. In another case, a tibial fracture occurred 20 days after surgery. All arthrodeses healed and no implant complication was detected although all cases had mechanical lameness.Clinical significance: Stifle arthrodesis can be performed successfully using a Fixin locking plate system.
