Osteotomy/Ostectomy

Complications after proximal abducting ulnar osteotomy and prognostic factors in 66 dogs

Complications are fairly common after PAUL, particularly in heavier dogs.

Internal hemipelvectomy with ischiectomy, partial acetabulectomy, and femoral head and neck excision in a cat with a pelvic osteochondroma

If planned appropriately, these procedures can result in a good functional outcome in cats.

Tarsometatarsal stabilization after metatarsal bone amputation for treatment of an aneurysmal bone cyst in a cat

This method may be an alternative to arthrodesis.

Ventral femoral head and neck ostectomy: Standard versus novel K-wire guided technique using a premeasured ostectomy angle in canine cadavers

Preoperative iFHOA measurement may minimize the risk of inappropriate vFHO angles.

Investigation of the effects of excessive tibial plateau angle and changes in load on ligament tensile forces in the stifle joints of dogs

Stress on the CCL may increase when the compressive load increases.

Evaluation of the risk of patella fracture as the result of decreasing tibial plateau angle following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy

The risk of patella fractures increased as TPAs after TPLOs decreased.

Subsequent meniscal tears following tibial tuberosity advancement and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament deficiency: An in vivo experimental study

Subsequent medial meniscal tears and cartilage injury was more prevalent following TTA when compared to TPLO.

Effects of perioperative saphenous and sciatic nerve blocks, lumbosacral epidural or morphine-lidocaine-ketamine infusion on postoperative pain and sedation in dogs undergoing TPLO

Sedation scores for MLK were higher than EPID and SSNB.

Timing of and risk factors for deep surgical site infection requiring implant removal following canine TPLO

Implant removal due to SSI after TPLO was uncommon.

Measurement of ground reaction forces in cats 1 year after femoral head and neck ostectomy

This is the first study to assess GRFs in a large group of cats.
