A combined transverse femoral ostectomy and tibial tuberosity distalisation technique resolved medial patella luxation with patella alta in two dogs.

Future identification of the genes/variants that have the most impact on disease risk may allow early recognition of high-risk individuals.

Integrated endoscopy can be considered as an option in dogs with thoracolumbar disc extrusions or other pathology measuring within the parameters defined by this study.

A Y-shaped fasciotome may be the preferred surgical instrument for successful desmopathy of the PSL fasciotomy.

Staged rather than single-session bilateral surgery should be considered in dogs with bilateral medial patellar luxation to improve clinical outcome and reduce the chance of major complications.

Dogs that have undergone stifle surgery have the worst prognosis for return to agility and if they return, they are more likely to drop class.

Medial tibial plateau convexity may play a role in the development of CCL insufficiency.

Interactions between the canine immune system and OSA warrant additional study.

Dexketoprofen administered every 8 hours during the first 24 hours postoperatively is noninferior to methadone in controlling pain after orthopaedic surgery in dogs.

The WDP provided the highest combined sensitivity and specificity at cut-off point 2 below the normal value for the detection of both OL and OD.
