Comparison of two different triple pelvic osteotomy plates for the treatment of hip dysplasia in 23 dogs

Abstract

This study was performed on different breeds, age and sex 23 dogs, which were brought with canine hip dysplasia (CHD). All cases separated into randomized two groups. Although Standard Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) procedure and Standard TPO Plate were applied on the first group (6 cases), in the other (17 cases) Standard TPO procedure and Twisted Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) plate were applied. Pre and postoperative Norberg-Olsson Angles (NO) was measured by Bs200Pro Software Programme (BsCelik, BAB Digital Imaging System 2007, Ankara, Turkiye) on computer imaging. Although group numbers are not equal we concluded that there were not any considerable difference shown between two groups. Twisted DCP group's evaluation was found to be similar to evaluation of TPO Plate group. Twisted DCP is as effective as original TPO Plate for treatment of canine hip dysplasia.
