Computed tomographic assessment of the completeness of arthroscopic subtotal coronoidectomy in dogs with medial coronoid disease

Authors: Carina Renner, Nikola Medl

Background: Until recent years, arthroscopic subtotal coronoidectomy has been the universally accepted treatment for medial coronoid disease but has variable clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the completeness of arthroscopic medial coronoid debridement and to detect the most vulnerable location of failure.

Greater trochanter osteotomy as a component of cementless total hip replacement: Five cases in four dogs

Authors: Catrina J Silveira, W Brian Saunders

Objective: To describe the surgical technique and report the long-term outcome of greater trochanteric osteotomy (GTO) as a component of cementless total hip replacement (THR) in dogs with severe medialization of the greater trochanter or chronic craniodorsal hip luxation.

Study design: Short case series.

Animals: Four dogs treated with five THRs.

Double-cut center of rotation of angulation-based leveling osteotomy for treatment of CCLD and excessive tibial plateau angle secondary to growth anomaly in two dogs

Authors: Caroline Dumartinet, Antoine Bernardé, Fabrice Bernard

Case description: A 4-year-old female Staffordshire Bull Terrier (dog 1) and a 6-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier (dog 2) were evaluated because of left pelvic limb lameness.

Clinical findings: Both dogs had a partial rupture of the left cranial cruciate ligament associated with a unilateral excessive tibial plateau angle (51° in dog 1 and 41° in dog 2) secondary to a growth anomaly.
