Construct Failure Following Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy of Canine Tibia Using Locking Plates

The objective of this study is to report radiographic description and outcome of construct failure following cranial closing wedge osteotomy (CCWO) using locking plates in dogs.Medical records and radiographs of dogs with construct failure after CCWO presented at a single institution were reviewed retrospectively. Signalment, history, implants used in initial surgery, time between CCWO surgery and failure, time between initial and revision surgery, cause of failure, and revision details were recorded. Radiographs were reviewed to measure pre- and postoperative tibial plateau angle (TPA) and cortical alignment. Clinical outcomes and complications following revision were noted in short-term follow-up (
