Angular Limb Deformity Correction Flashcards
1
Q
Knapp, Vet Surg, 2016:
- Chondrodystrophic dogs were more likely to have uniapical or biapical deformities and by how much?
- Was the incidence of subjective torsion higher in chondrodystrophic or non-chondrodystrophic dogs?
- What are the odds of having radiographic elbow disease in limbs with torsion vs limbs without torsion?
A
Knapp, Vet Surg, 2016:
- Chondrodystrophic dogs were 3 times more likely to have a biapical vs uniapical deformity, and these deformities were almost always partially compensated
- Incidence of subjective torsion was higher in chondrodystrophic dogs
- Odds of having radiographic elbow disease was 4.5 times higher in limbs with torsion

Q
Franklin, Vet Surg, 2017:
- Effect(s) of oblique plane inclined osteotomies?
- Radial torsion values vs radial rotation?
A
Franklin, Vet Surg, 2017:
- Oblique planed inclined osteotomies improved limb alignment and resulted in osseous union and full or acceptable function
- Radial rotation is often greater than radial torsion and the use of radial torsion values alone may result in under-correction of radial rotation

Q
Kroner, Vet Surg, 2017:
Assessment of radial torsion using CT
- Interobserver reliability for uniapical vs biapical deformities?
- Intraobserver reliability for uniapical vs biapical deformities?
- What % of uniapical and biapical deformity limbs had evidence of lateral radial head subluxation
A
Kroner, Vet Surg, 2017:
- Interobserver reliability was good for uniapical limbs and excellent for biapical limbs
- Intraobserver reliability was excellent for both uniapical and biapical limbs
- 20% of the uniapical and 40% of the biapical limbs had evidence of lateral radial head subluxation

Q
Cooley, Vet Surg, 2018:
- What % of the dogs with uniapical and biapical deformities were chondrodystrophic?
- Overall limb rotation in normal dogs?
A
Cooley, Vet Surg, 2018:
- 0% of the uniapical dogs and 90% of the biapical dogs were chondrodystrophic
- Overall limb rotation in normal dogs is 35 degrees

What % healed without complications?
A
Worth, VCOT, 2019:
71% healed without complications
