🔍 Key Findings
- No significant difference in non-infected incisional dehiscence rates among groups using PDS vs. Monocryl for subcutaneous and skin closure.
- Overall dehiscence rate: 9.48% (22/232 dogs).
- Postoperative antibiotic use and signs of inflammation were significantly associated with dehiscence (p = .023 and p < .001, respectively).
- Dogs not receiving postoperative antibiotics had a higher dehiscence rate (14.74%) than those that did (5.84%).
- Most dehiscence cases were superficial (85.7%), and the average length of dehiscence was 1.71 cm.
- No statistically significant impact of weight, BCS, incision length, procedure type, surgeon experience, closure direction, or barrier use on dehiscence rate.

In Lu 2025 et al., on SOP constructs, what was the **mean mediolateral bending stiffness** of SOP constructs **with** bending tees?

🔍 Key Findings
- Bending tees significantly increased mediolateral bending stiffness, but not craniocaudal stiffness, in plate-bone constructs.
- Mean mediolateral stiffness was 43.2 N/mm with tees vs. 41.1 N/mm without (p = 0.0042), though the absolute difference was small.
- No significant differences were found in craniocaudal bending stiffness between constructs with or without tees (p = 0.89).
- Plastic deformation occurred in all constructs; no screw pull-out or implant breakage was observed.
- SOP nodes may resist compressive but not tensile deformation, suggesting variable mechanical contributions depending on loading direction.
- Craniocaudal bending had greater stiffness than mediolateral due to higher area moment of inertia along the node diameter.
- Clinical relevance of added stiffness from tees remains unclear, warranting further in vivo and cyclic testing.
- This was the first study to directly test SOP constructs with/without tees over a fracture gap in multiple planes.
