Temporary distraction in rabbit models with induced intervertebral disc degeneration showed signs of intervertebral disc repair. In the present study, we assessed safety and efficacy of temporary segmental distraction in a dog with clinical signs of DLSS.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003Distraction of the lumbosacral junction by pedicle screw\u2013rod fixation was applied in a 5-year-old Greyhound with DLSS and evaluated by radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and force plate analysis before and after distraction.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Safe distraction of the lumbosacral junction was demonstrated, with improvement of clinical signs after removal of the distraction device. Signal intensity of the intervertebral disc showed no changes over time. T2 value was highest directly after removal of the distraction device but decreased by 10% of the preoperative value at 9 months of follow-up. Disc height decreased (8%) immediately after removal of the distraction device, but recovered to the initial value. A decrease in the pelvic\/thoracic propulsive force during pedicle screw\u2013rod fixation and distraction was demonstrated, which slowly increased by 4% compared with the initial value.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Clinical significance\u2003Temporary pedicle screw\u2013rod fixation in combination with distraction in a dog with DLSS was safe, improved clinical signs and retained disc height at 9 months of follow-up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1639599","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,2]],"date-time":"2018-06-02T22:32:50Z","timestamp":1527978770000},"page":"298-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Temporary Segmental Distraction in a Dog with Degenerative Lumbosacral Stenosis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Nicole","family":"Willems","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedics\/Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roel","family":"Kersten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Diakonessenhuis, Diakonessenhuis, Zeist, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"van Gaalen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Diakonessenhuis, Diakonessenhuis, Zeist, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"\u00d6ner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, University Medical Center, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gustav","family":"Strijkers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering & Physics, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefanie","family":"Veraa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diagnostic Imaging, Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martijn","family":"Beukers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Diagnostic Imaging, Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"Tryfonidou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedics\/Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bj\u00f6rn","family":"Meij","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedics\/Neurosurgery, Department of Clinical Sciences of Companion Animals, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,2]]},"container-title":["Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1639599.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,30]],"date-time":"2018-07-30T09:50:53Z","timestamp":1532944253000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1639599"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,27]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1639599","relation":{},"ISSN":["0932-0814","2567-6911"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0932-0814","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-6911","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,2]]}}}
