Tendon and Ligament Injuries

The PRP used in this study did not hasten osseous union in dogs treated with a high tibial osteotomy

A 40 lb monofilament nylon prosthesis, tightened at 20 N, produced more favourable biomechanical stabilisation than a 0.5 cm wide strip of fascia lata applied intracapsularly

Uncommon, even in dogs with concurrent patellar luxation or bilateral simultaneous procedures

Uneventful osteotomy healing without implant failures in all dogs of the study

Use of ultrasound for evaluation of the femoral trochlea remains a largely qualitative assessment

An effective technique in 23 stifles

Complication rates comparable to those recorded in larger breeds and to other techniques and a high degree of owner satisfaction

The use of LLLT may improve postoperative return to function following canine osteotomies

Meniscal clicks were more frequently elicited then with other traditional tests.

Proximalization of the tibial tuberosity reduces PLA when compared to TTA without tibial tuberosity proximalization
