Standardized tests were performed for each specimen in flexion\/extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. The specimens were tested intact and after completion of one of the three slots techniques or fenestration. Pre-testing, cadaver specimens were confirmed to be free of disease by computed tomography (CT) examination. Post-testing, dimensions of slots and fenestration were determined based on a second CT examination.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003All ventral surgical procedures increased range of motion (ROM) at the C4\u2013C5 VMU compared with intact specimens. The only significant difference in the increase in ROM was observed between slanted slot and fenestration in flexion\/extension. The standard ventral slot had a significant higher increase in ROM in extension compared with the other three techniques. The slanted slot had a significant lower increase in ROM in flexion.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Discussion\/Conclusion\u2003The described ventral slot techniques have similar biomechanical effects on the canine cervical vertebral column. In contrast to the findings of a previous study, the slanted slot and inverted cone slot do not appear to provide a biomechanical benefit compared with standard ventral slot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1667200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,20]],"date-time":"2018-09-20T19:01:57Z","timestamp":1537470117000},"page":"413-421","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["In Vitro Biomechanical Comparison of Four Different Ventral Surgical Procedures on the Canine Fourth-Fifth Cervical Vertebral Motion Unit"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Voumard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Surgical Technology and Biomechanics, Medical Faculty, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maja","family":"Waschk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Hettlich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franck","family":"Forterre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Hermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Berne, Berne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,20]]},"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-0038-1667200.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,2]],"date-time":"2019-01-02T10:05:03Z","timestamp":1546423503000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1667200"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,20]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"06","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,11]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1667200","relation":{},"ISSN":["0932-0814","2567-6911"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0932-0814","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-6911","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,20]]}}}
