Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and outcome of two greyhounds with calcaneal malunions that were treated with corrective osteotomy and partial tarsal arthrodesis.
Study design: Short case series.
Animals: Two adult racing greyhounds.
Objective: The aim of this study was to report the prevalence and risk factors of bilateral meniscal tears during a tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO).
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in dogs and to determine the influence of preemptive locoregional analgesia on CPSP.
Study design: Retrospective study.
Animals: One hundred twenty client-owned dogs.
Objective: To determine the effect of extracorporeal shock wave (ESWT) on liposomal bupivacaine in a tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy model.
Study design: In vitro study.
Sample population: Ten samples per group.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the changes in biomechanical characteristics following tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) using simulated manual tests.
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).
