Improvements in fracture healing, indicated by an increase in bone fraction and decrease in void space at the osteotomy, were also observed with healing time. CONCLUSION  The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the SRT as a method for improved screw retention in a rescue-screw type scenario.

MATERIALS AND METHODS  Small breed dogs (15 kg or less) with unilateral CCLR treated with TPLO were evaluated using symmetry index (SI) of peak vertical force (PVF), vertical impulse and vector magnitude at PVF performed preoperatively and at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months postoperatively after routine TPLO surgery. RESULTS  Twelve dogs met the inclusion criteria. Hindlimb function was markedly improved after TPLO, with all three postoperative SI significantly higher after a month than preoperative values (p  less then  0.01). At 2 months after surgery, the SI was nearly normalized to 1.0 (preoperative SI 0.50 ± 0.20, 0.44 ± 0.19 and 0.51 ± 0.19, and 2 months postoperative SI 0.92 ± 0.16, 0.90 ± 0.18 and 0.92 ± 0.16 respectively). Complications were noted in two dogs (fibular fracture and a partial implant failure), neither of which required a revision surgery for acceptable functional recovery. CONCLUSION  The objective limb function of the affected hindlimb improved continuously after surgery and reached a near normal value at 6 months after surgery. It was suggested that TPLO for small breed dogs had good outcomes based on force plate gait analysis.
