Systems and methods for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) are disclosed. According to some embodiments, an osteotomy method may include cutting a tibia with an arcuate cut to separate a tibial plateau of the tibia from a tibial base of the tibia, rotating the tibial plateau relative to the tibial base from a first orientation to a second orientation, and, with the tibial plateau in the second orientation relative to the tibial base, securing an implant to the tibia to secure the tibial plateau to the tibial base. Securing the implant to the tibia may include embedding a first leg of the implant into the tibial base, and embedding a second leg of the implant into the tibial plateau such that the first and second legs apply compression urging the tibial plateau toward the tibial base.

A surgical spoon for removing uroliths having a head connected to a handle by a neck, The head has a perimeter having a curved edge and at least one straight edge.

An aural hematoma splint (AHS) system/method providing for animal ear pinna (AEP) suspension and/or compression allowing non-surgical treatment of AEP auricular hematoma is disclosed. The AHS promotes healing performance by including a conical primary plate (CPP) and angular secondary plate (ASP) that are used in conjunction with non-elastic fabric tape (NFT) to hold the AEP in suspension during treatment. The NFT includes a long strap collar (LSC) and cross support strips (CSS) for preparatory taping and application of the CPP/ASP to the AEP. This sandwich configuration of the CPP/ASP surrounding the AEP creates equilibrium in hematoma fluid pressures within the damaged area of the AEP, promotes a uniform thin layer of blood to clot in the entirety of the hematoma region, and allows regeneration of damaged tissues in a controlled environment while limiting structural and aesthetic damage to the healed AEP post treatment.

In one aspect, an EID button tag is provided herein for tagging and identifying cattle as being inoculated against brucellosis, the EID button tag including: a shell having a central opening; a transponder located in the shell; a male punch having a disc-shaped punch body and a stem extending distally therefrom, the stem having a head configured for irreversible insertion into the central opening, wherein a mounting opening is formed through the punch body with a mounting channel extending distally from the mounting opening and coaxially along the stem; and, a vaccination identification button having a disc-shaped visual identification body and a mounting stem extending distally therefrom, wherein the mounting stem is configured for irreversible insertion into the mounting channel. The punch body and the visual identification body are primarily tinted with different colors to provide visual identification of a head of cattle being inoculated against brucellosis.

The invention relates to a method for controlling an eye surgical laser (18) for removing a volume body (12) from a cornea (44) with an anterior interface (16) of the cornea (44) and a posterior interface (14) of the cornea (44), comprising the steps of: presetting the posterior actual interface (14); determining a first imaging point (48) of the cornea (44); determining an anterior target interface (46) depending on the posterior actual interface (14) and the first imaging point (48) based on a mathematical model (M); determining a shape of the volume body (12) to be generated by presetting the determined anterior target interface (46); and generating control data for generating the volume body (12) such that the anterior actual interface (16) corresponds to the determined anterior target interface (46) after removing the volume body (12) from the cornea (44).

Further, the invention relates to a treatment apparatus (10), to a computer program product as well as to a computer-readable medium.

The disclosure relates to a surgical system and related methods to facilitate reduction and fixation of sacro-iliac luxations/fractures (SIL/F) in small animals, for example dogs and cats. In another aspect, the disclosure relates to an aiming device and related methods providing accurate, reliable, and safe fixation of SIL/F in such small animals. The surgical system includes a work surface, an articulatable and lockable reduction arm mounted to the work surface, a reduction handle mounted to the reduction arm; an articulatable and lockable fixation arm mounted to the work surface, a fixation drill guide mounted to the fixation arm, and an image acquisition unit directed toward the work surface. The surgical system provides enhanced safety to surgical personnel using the system in terms of reduced exposure to harmful radiation form the image acquisition unit.
