Osteotomy/Ostectomy

Impact of intramedullary pinning and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 on postoperative complications after proximal ulnar osteotomy in dogs

This study supports the use of an intramedullary pin and rhBMP-2 in PUO.

Distal femoral shortening osteotomy for managing irreducible hips during total hip replacement in four dogs with severe luxoid hips

Following DFSO, prosthesis reduction was successful in all dogs.

Use of a tibial osseointegrated prosthesis as a limb salvage method in two dogs

This osseointegrated implant system allowed dogs to regain normal clinical function of their pelvic limb for 3 years.

Assessment of 3 detorsional planning techniques for distal femoral osteotomy to the distal femoral metaphysis in 3 dog breeds

The tested techniques were not reliable in chondrodystrophic dogs.

Inverted supracondylar femoral dynamic compression plates for revision of construct failure following tibial cranial closing wedge ostectomy in three dogs

The use of an inverted supracondylar plate in the proximal tibia generally had good outcomes.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position should be placed first in the head of the plate.

Effect of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Transection during TPLO on Patellar Desmitis in Dogs with Partial Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This study did not identify a protective effect of transecting the CCL remnant.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position minimises cranial osteotomy gap formation.

Double-Cut Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy for the Management of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Insufficiency in Dogs with an Excessive Plateau Angle: Early Clinical Results in 16 Dogs

The DCTPLO technique was effective for treating CrCL disease with TPA of up to 43.5° in dogs.

Comparing the Accuracy of Patient-Specific Guide and Universal Guide for Distal Femoral Osteotomy in Dogs

Both the patient-specific and universal guides can produce accurate results in DFO surgery.
