Objective: To determine whether using 12.5° Slocum-like triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) plates would create sufficient femoral head coverage and lower the occurrence of overrotation compared with using 20° TPO plates in dogs with hip dysplasia.
Study design: Prospective clinical study.
Sample population: Thirty-five dogs with hip dysplasia (38 hips).
Objective: To describe outcomes of dogs with excessive tibial plateau angle (eTPA) and cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) disease treated with center of rotation of angulation-based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) and cranial closing wedge ostectomy (CCWO).
Study design: Retrospective study.
Animals: Twenty-one dogs.
Objective: To report midterm to long-term outcomes of dogs with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture and excessive tibial plateau angles (TPA) treated with a modified cranial closing wedge osteotomy (m-CCWO).
Study design: Retrospective case series.
Study population: Dogs (n = 21) with CCL rupture and excessive TPA treated with m-CCWO (n = 28).
Objective: To determine the effect of proximal abducting ulnar osteotomy (PAUL) on frontal plane thoracic limb alignment in standing and recumbent positions.
Study design: Ex vivo cadaveric study.
Sample population: Canine thoracic limbs (n = 15 limb pairs).
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe a new surgical method of segmental femoral ostectomy for the reconstruction of the femoropatellar joint (FPJ) in dogs with medial patellar luxation (MPL) grade IV.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the use of patient-specific three-dimensional (3D)-printed osteotomy guides, repositioning guides and custom-printed titanium plates for acute correction of antebrachial limb deformities in four dogs.
Objective: To identify factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO).
Study design: Retrospective case series.
Animals: Dogs (n = 541) that underwent TPLO (n = 659).
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the technique and the clinical outcome of cats with obstipation as a result of pelvic canal narrowing, treated using an alternative triple pelvic osteotomy technique.
OBJECTIVE: To compare liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine (LEB) and (nonliposomal) 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride (0.5BH) for control of postoperative pain in dogs undergoing tibial plateau
