Medial tibial cortex torsion and tibial rotational alignment can be measured using the protocol described in this study

The caudolateral approach for centesis of the equine elbow joint, performed by inserting a needle 3.8-cm, was found to be reliable.

The overall radiographic complication rate and healing scores were found to be similar to those described for unilateral TTA

As part of a multimodal analgesia approach the use of femoral and sciatic nerves blocks with bupivacaine appears to be an alternative technique to help with analgesia and anesthesia during surgery.

The surgical approach and placement of modified kerf-cut cylinderswere successfully achieved with minimal signs of postoperative pain and a short rehabilitation time period

Breed differences, body weights, and muscle mass should be taken into consideration during assessment of the stifle function using goniometric measurements

A useful option particularly for peri- and juxta-articular fractures

Differences are minor and unlikely to have clinical significance.

TTA and TPLO were considered to be equally effective in promoting weight bearing capacity recovery in the trial

Pelvic limb function improves following surgical correction of grade 4 MPL; however, a return to full function should be considered guarded.
