Abstract
Objective To determine whether using 12.5 degrees Slocum-like triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) plates would create sufficient femoral head coverage and lower the occurrence of overrotation compared with using 20 degrees TPO plates in dogs with hip dysplasia. Study design Prospective clinical study. Sample population Thirty-five dogs with hip dysplasia (38 hips). Methods Nineteen hips were surgically treated with a custom-made Slocum-type 12.5 degrees TPO plate, and these were matched to 19 hips surgically treated with a 20 degrees commercial Slocum TPO plate. Hips were case matched according to size and breed. Ortolani sign, angles of subluxation and reduction, distraction index, and femoral head coverage (FHC) were compared between groups. Excessive coverage was defined as >80%. Results In the 12.5 degrees group, FHC was >= 50% in all hips, with mean FHC (67%), gain (37%), and excessive coverage (11%) all significantly less than in the 20 degrees group (79%, 54%, and 42%, respectively). Conclusion The 12.5 degrees plate produced sufficient FHC compared with the 20 degrees plate, with fewer hips with excessive coverage. Clinical significance The 12.5 degrees TPO plate may result in sufficient FHC with a lower occurrence of excessive coverage compared with 20 degrees plates.
