Title: | Outcome of triple pelvic osteotomy in dogs is established within a month after the surgery | Authors: | Degorska, Beata BURZYKOWSKI, Tomasz |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | NATL VETERINARY RESEARCH INST | Source: | BULLETIN OF THE VETERINARY INSTITUTE IN PULAWY, 55(3). p. 485-492 | Abstract: | The purpose of our study was to evaluate the temporal aspect of the onset of the outcome of a triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) in a group of 34 dogs younger (but one) than 12 months of age with a homogenous longer follow-up. In each case, lameness and positive Ortolani sign were detected. In some cases, bilateral TPO or denervation of the contralateral hip was performed. Clinical and radiological re-checks were performed in a uniform way for all dogs one and three months after surgery. The mean angle of reduction and subluxation for the operated joints decreased substantially by 17.3 +/- 1.58 degrees one month after the surgery, without any further statistically significant reduction at three months. Additionally, in 71% of the operated joints, the outcome of the TPO, defined in terms of the absence of the angle of reduction and subluxation, was already established at one month post-surgery and did not change at three months post-surgery. These results indicate that the outcome of the TPO in dogs is established within a month after the surgery and is basically maintained afterwards. | Notes: | [Degorska, B] Warsaw Univ Life Sci SGGW, Div Small Anim Surg & Anaesthesiol, Fac Vet Med, PL-02776 Warsaw, Poland.
