Q
In a study by Banks 2021 in VCOT, were the mechanical tibial joint reference angles similar to non-chondrodystrophic breeds?

Q
What technique described by Vezzoni 2022 in VCOT was used for treatment of distal femoral valgus in immature dogs in order to increase aLDFA? How frequently did rebound growth occur following implant removal?
A
Hemiepiphysiodesis using either a bone plate or staples. Close monitoring is required to prevent over-correction.
Rebound growth occurred in 3/12 cases with removed surgical implants.
