Osteotomy/Ostectomy

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.

Efficacy of postoperative antibiotic use after TPLO in dogs: A systematic review

We found little evidence to support the use of postoperative antibiotics

Mid- to Long-Term Outcome after Arthroscopy and Proximal Abducting Ulnar Osteotomy Versus Arthroscopy Alone in Dogs with Medial Compartment Disease: Thirty Cases
