Short-term and long-term outcomes, arthrodesis progression, and complications were assessed using a retrospective review of case records and radiographs. Three of 21 (14.2%) dogs required a revision surgery: 2 had total implant explantation and 1 had a screw removed. Other complications were managed successfully medically. One of 21 (4.8%) dogs had confirmed deep surgical site infection requiring implant removal, and 4 of 21 (19%) had suspected (not confirmed on microbiology) superficial surgical site infections that resolved with medical management. Long-term outcomes were assessed via owner questionnaire (Canine Brief Pain Inventory) and were available for nine dogs at a mean of 26.78 mo after surgery. The mean score for the first part (assessment of pain) was 7.83\/40, which is classified as no pain to mild pain. The mean score for the second part (assessment of function) was 12.67\/60, which is classified as very good. The last part (overall impression) was defined as excellent in four dogs (44.44%), very good in one dog (11.11%), and good in the other four dogs (44.44%). This retrospective study documents a suitable technique for pancarpal arthrodesis in dogs with carpal injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,31]],"date-time":"2024-10-31T12:08:53Z","timestamp":1730376533000},"page":"252-264","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Outcome, Complications, and Follow-Up in Dogs Treated with Pancarpal Arthrodesis Stabilized with Orthogonal Plates"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Alba Rial","family":"Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists, Hampshire, United Kingdom (A.R.G.);"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlie","family":"Brincin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bristol Vet Specialists, Bristol, United Kingdom (C.B.); and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Craig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Downs Specialist Referrals, Bletchingley, United Kingdom (A.C.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"i0587-2871-60-6-252-b1","series-title":"Aust Vet J","first-page":"565","article-title":"Carpal arthrodesis in dogs","volume":"56","author":"Johnson","year":"1980","unstructured":"Johnson\n              K.\n            \n          \n          Carpal arthrodesis in dogs.
