Osteotomy/Ostectomy

Use of a Modified TPLO with Double Cut and Medial Crescentic Closing Wedge Osteotomy to Treat Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Tibial Valgus Deformity

This treatment allows accurate correction of the tibial deformity with a low complication rate.

Influence of wire configuration on resistance to fragment distraction of tension bands placed in a greater trochanteric osteotomy model

Wire configurations reaching greater initial tension, such as the DL, allowed constructs to resist higher tensile loads.

A Retrospective Study Using the String of Pearls TPLO Locking Plate for the Treatment of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease

The use of SOP TPLO plates is cautioned and further study is warranted.

Modified Triple Tibial Osteotomy for Combined Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture, Tibial Deformities, or Patellar Luxation

A modified TTO may be used to treat these conditions.
