Osteotomy/Ostectomy

Sufficient fragment rotation leads to compression of the cranial tibial artery.

Owners reported a positive satisfaction when considering complications, recovery outcome, and expectations.

At the 8-week postoperative follow-up examination, the dog had normal weight-bearing ability.

The risk of complication increased with the weight of the dog at surgery.

No difference in mean load to failure was identified between CBLO-TTT and CBLO alone.

The crescent guide may improve control of the radial saw during TPLO.

CBLO is an option for skeletally immature dogs with CrCL injury.

Use of bipolar vessel sealing devices for muscle transection increased the odds of developing an SSI.

Hemiepiphysiodesis should be considered as an early treatment in affected immature dogs.

The locking compression system allowed a more rapid functional recovery of the limb.
