Abstract
Objective: To describe a CORA-based cranial closing wedge ostectomy methodology (CCWOCORA) and to determine whether the CCWOCORA achieves a more accurate and precise postoperative tibial plateau angle (TPAPOST) than three previously described methods.
Study design: In silico study.
Sample population: Thirteen client-owned dogs.
Methods: Computed tomography (CT) scans of six Labrador retriever, six German shepherd, six Rottweiler, and six small-breed dog (<10 kg) tibiae, originally acquired for unrelated purposes, were used for in silico planning and execution of the CCWOCORA and previously described procedures. The TPAPOST, tibial long axis shift, change in tibial length and wedge angle were recorded and a linear mixed-effects model was used to compare differences amongst techniques.
Results: The median TPAPOST for the CCWOCORA method was 5.00° (range: 5.00-5.00°) across a variety of tibial morphologies, whereas all other methods showed greater variability. Differences in TPAPOST were evident amongst methods (p < .001) and breeds (p < .001).
Conclusions: In silico, CCWOCORA methodology always achieved the target TPAPOST due to its intrinsic geometric principles. As such, CCWOCORA surgeries achieved a more accurate TPAPOST than previously described CCWO techniques.
Clinical significance: The CCWOCORA provides clinicians with a cranial closing-wedge ostectomy methodology with entirely predictable TPAPOST.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Surgery, the official publication of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and European College of Veterinary Surgeons, is a source of up-to-date coverage of surgical and anesthetic management of animals, addressing significant problems in veterinary surgery with relevant case histories and observations.
It contains original, peer-reviewed articles that cover developments in veterinary surgery, and presents the most current review of the field, with timely articles on surgical techniques, diagnostic aims, care of infections, and advances in knowledge of metabolism as it affects the surgical patient. The journal places new developments in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary to help better understand and evaluate the surgical patient.
