Angular limb deformity

Question 1

Sellier JAVMA 2020

6mo mini dachy unilateral pes varus

Answer 1

true spherical osteotomy with dome saw allowed correction in 3D

Question 2

Nikolaou VCOT 2020

guidelines for true spherical dome osteotomies using modified dome plate design

Answer 2

spherical osteotomies provide additional adv of cylindrical osteotomies combined with ability to correct torsion while maintaining bone apposition

Question 3

Christopher Frontiers 2022

distal ulnar ostectomy in 23 juvenile dogs with carpal valgus
premature closure of distal ulnar physis

Answer 3

70% improved
30% complications (most minor)
distal ulnar ostectomy corrected progression of carpal valgus and is a/w improved elbow congruity - but does NOT correct angular deformity

Question 4

Townsend VS 2024

3D PSG vs freehand for radial osteotomies

Answer 4

84% PSG vs 50% freehand were within 5deg from target

Question 5

Pfeil VS 2024

11 dogs with short radius
Acute arthroscopially assisted ulnar shortening + plate

Answer 5

humeroradial congruency improved in all
no major comp
