Short-term complications of internal versus external fixation of closed diaphyseal tibial fractures in 95 skeletally immature dogs

Surgeons should consider the use of IF over ESF for skeletally immature dogs to reduce the risk of major complications.

Minimally Invasive Radial–Ulnar and Tibial Fracture Management with Supracutaneous Locking Plates in Dogs and Cats

Cats and dogs tolerated SLPs well.

Comprehensive radiographic grading system and clinical outcomes of canine tibial avulsion fractures in dogs

This study introduces an enhanced classification system for tibial apophyseal fractures in dogs.

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position should be placed first in the head of the plate.

Outcome and Complications Following Medial Patellar Luxation Corrective Surgery with Tibial Tuberosity Transposition Using a Locking Plate and a Pin Fixation: 45 Unilateral and 20 Single-Session Bilateral Procedures

Plate-Pin fixation for TT during MPL surgery is a feasible technique with a lower incidence of luxation recurrence

Effect of screw placement order on range of proximal tibial fragment rotation adjustment and osteotomy gap formation when using manual reduction during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO)

The proximal screw position minimises cranial osteotomy gap formation.

Interfragmentary Compression of Tibial Osteotomies

The tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) procedure was both revolutionary and controversial.

Tibial fracture associated with use of Arthrex self-tapping screws during tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in dogs and development of transcortical tibial fracture

TCTF associated with Arthrex 3.5 mm STS use in TPLO can contribute to major complications after surgery.

Efficacy of virtual surgical planning and a three-dimensional-printed, patient-specific reduction system to facilitate alignment of diaphyseal tibial fractures stabilized by minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in dogs: A prospective clinical study

Virtual planning is practical and facilitated acceptable alignment during MIPO.

A modified triple tibial osteotomy for management of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: retrospective assessment of 309 procedures (2017–2020)

With careful case selection, the modified TTO may be performed as a bilateral single-session procedure.
