Episode Synopsis

In this BoardsCast episode, we explore the key mechanisms behind fracture fixation failure—especially in the context of TPLO and TTA procedures. Using a three-bucket model, we dive into mechanical, biological, and biomechanical mismatches that underlie the most common and the most elusive post-op complications.This is your board-relevant, clinically applicable deep dive into the science of when things go wrong—and how to catch them before they do.We cover:Mechanical Failures — From overly stiff plates to implant fatigue, working length errors, and even material defects linked to corrosion and rare neoplasia.Biological Failures — What happens when bone biology can’t keep up: stress shielding, graft healing delays, and osteopenia-driven collapse.Biomechanical Mismatch — Late meniscal tears, overlooked angular/torsional deformities, implant misplacement, and dislocation of key structures like the LDE tendon.—🎁 Claim your free sample of Simini Protect Lavage (just cover shipping): https://www.simini.com/getstarted1620808454519🔊 Listen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music
