Tibial tuberosity advancement in 65 canine stifles.
Department of Small Animal Clinical Science, Columbus, Ohio 43210-1089, USA.
2006
The tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) procedure was developed to treat dogs with cranial cruciate ligament deficient stifles. A retrospective, descriptive study was performed on 57 dogs that underwent unilateral or bilateral TTA. Medical records were reviewed and pre-, postoperative and follow-up radiographs were evaluated for…
