Dogs were\n                    grouped by plate sizes (2.0, 2.4, 2.7, 3.5 and 3.5 broad) and by small breeds\n                    (2.0\u20132.7 plate sizes) and large breeds (3.5 plates). Potential\n                    influencing factors on lameness and complications were recorded from the\n                    database and measured on radiographs and statistically compared.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results Small dogs experienced fewer complications than large dogs\n                    (10% vs. 22%) and not a single major complication. Small dogs\n                    were significantly less lame at recheck and at long-term follow-up. Progression\n                    of bone healing had an influence on the lameness grade of dogs at recheck after\n                    TPLO. Distance of the most proximal screw from the joint was identified as a\n                    risk factor for implant failure. The width of the patella ligament correlated\n                    with body weight and uniformly increased 2.4 times after TPLO.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions TPLO in small breed dogs has a lower overall complication rate\n                    than in large breed dogs. The TPLO plate should always be placed as close to the\n                    joint as possible to reduce the risk of implant failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Clinical relevance TPLO can be recommended as treatment for cranial\n                    cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) in dogs of all sizes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1990-0597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,14]],"date-time":"2023-03-14T19:32:17Z","timestamp":1678822337000},"page":"6-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy in small and large breed dogs: a\n                    comparative retrospective study of complications and outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Riccarda","family":"Schuenemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kleintierspezialisten Augsburg, Augsburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jakub","family":"Kaczmarek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kleintierspezialisten Augsburg, Augsburg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"493","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-12-06-0070","article-title":"Management of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small dogs: a questionnaire\n                    study","volume":"26","author":"E Comerford","year":"2013","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"478","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-14-03-0047","article-title":"Treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease.
