The purpose of this study was to compare the features and visibility of humeral transcondylar screw fractures in standard CT scale (SCTS) and ECTS images.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Study Design\u2003Case series: CT images of dogs with fractured transcondylar screws were retrospectively reviewed and described in both SCTS and ECTS images.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003Five dogs with a total of six transcondylar screw failures (five right and one bilateral) were reviewed. All cases had an ongoing humeral intercondylar fissure with varying degrees of stress remodelling. The fracture was seen in all screws on ECTS images, however only in three implants on SCTS images. The measured fracture gap was larger in ECTS images in all cases (range:\u2009+\u20090.14\u2009mm to\u2009+\u20090.28mm). The three smallest fracture gaps were not seen on SCTS images. A subtle hypoattenuating streak (artefact) was visible adjacent to the screw fracture in 5\/6 of cases using SCTS images. All screw fractures occurred parallel and often slightly medial to the humeral intercondylar fissure.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Implant failure is only seen with larger fracture gaps in SCTS images, with 3\/6 screw fractures not visible in SCTS compared with ECTS. A hypoattenuating streak extending perpendicular to the implant in SCTS images is suggestive of screw fracture even if this is not directly visible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1740620","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,1]],"date-time":"2022-01-01T00:05:06Z","timestamp":1640995506000},"page":"128-133","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Visibility
