The Veress needle method was useful to establish a fluid egress system and limit iatrogenic cartilage excoriations

Complications are common, many are external fixator related. Prosthetic ligaments are significantly associated with major complications.

The TLP with polypropylene suture was superior to the SW using Fiberloop® at resistance to 3 mm gap formation

Outcomes suggested beneficial effects of RSWT in dogs with hip osteoarthritis

Addition of a stabilizing bolt enhanced construct stability and limited subsidence of a BFX(®) femoral stem

TTA achieves normal function by 12 months at the walk and is indistinguishable from ECR at the trot. Function after TPLO was similar to the control dogs

Arthroscopic treatment of medial coronoid disease, even with limited cartilage lesions, may not resolve lameness in some dogs

Overall radiographic complication rate and healing scores similar to those described for unilateral TTA

The use of femoral and sciatic nerves blocks with bupivacaine appears to be an helpful alternative technique during surgery.

Consistency in morphological characteristics suggested a common etiopathogenesis for subchondral bone cysts
