A variety of commercially available, specific DPO plates were used. Complications were determined during the immediate postoperative period and at the time of the clinical and radiographic re-evaluations done 1 and\/or 2 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003A total of 458 DPO (226 right, 232 left) performed in 305 dogs satisfied the inclusion criteria. Double pelvic osteotomy plates from eight different manufacturers were used: Fixin (n\u2009=\u2009160), Kyon (n\u2009=\u2009154), New Generation Device (n\u2009=\u200963), Hofmann (n\u2009=\u200961), Veterinary Instrumentation (n\u2009=\u200912), DePuy Synthes (n\u2009=\u20094), Porte (n\u2009=\u20093) and Koenigsee (n\u2009=\u20091). Mean age of the dogs was 6.2 months (range: 5\u20138 months), and the body weight ranged from 10 to 47\u2009kg. Overall, a total of 42 complications occurred in 38 DPO (8.2%). Complications included greenstick fracture of the ischium in 14 DPO (3%), isolated screw loosening in 13 DPO involving 16 of a total of 2,947 screws (0.5%), isolated screw breakage in 4 DPO involving 5 of 2,947 screws (0.1%), incomplete ilium fracture in 3 DPO (0.6%), partial caudal plate avulsion in 3 DPO (0.6%), iatrogenic sciatic neuropraxia in two DPO (0.4%), suspected surgical site infection (SSI) in 1 DPO (0.2%) and persistent pain and lameness caused by the implant in 2 DPO (0.4%). The case of suspected SSI and the two cases of persistent pain were classified as major complications (3 DPO, 0.6%), requiring medical and surgical intervention, respectively, whereas other 39 complications in 35 DPO were classified as minor, not requiring treatment (7.6%).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Double pelvic osteotomy using DPO plates appears to be a safe surgical option for the treatment of hip dysplasia in growing dogs; no catastrophic complications were reported and the incidence of complications (0.6% major complications and 7.6% minor complications) was low. This study showed that DPO using DPO plates and proper technique was safe in 92% of cases. The only two factors found to be significantly associated with the development of complications after DPO were the laterality (left-sided or right-sided) and body weight.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1735288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T22:58:02Z","timestamp":1632956282000},"page":"047-056","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Postoperative Complications of Double Pelvic Osteotomy Using Specific Plates in 305 Dogs"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Francesca","family":"Tavola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AniCura Djursjukhuset Albano, Danderyd, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dario","family":"Drudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Veterinaria Vezzoni, Cremona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2837-7822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Vezzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Veterinaria Vezzoni, Cremona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aldo","family":"Vezzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Veterinaria Vezzoni, Cremona, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"797","volume-title":"Canine hip dysplasia in disease mechanisms in small animal surgery","author":"W H Riser","year":"1993","edition":"2nd edition"},{"issue":"62","key":"ref2","first-page":"70","article-title":"Pelvic osteotomy in the treatment of canine hip dysplasia","volume":"62","author":"R B Hohn","year":"1969","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1633163","article-title":"Stabilization of canine pelvic osteotomies with AO\/ASIF plates and screws","volume":"01","author":"C A Hunt","year":"1988","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197355020-00010","article-title":"Triple osteotomy of the innominate bone","volume":"55","author":"H H Steel","year":"1973","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.43B3.518","article-title":"Innominate osteotomy in the treatment of congenital dislocation and subluxation of the hip","volume":"43-B(3)","author":"R B Salter","year":"1961","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"471","volume-title":"Pelvic osteotomy in canine orthopedics","author":"B Slocum","year":"1990"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00189612","article-title":"Polygonal triple osteotomy of the pelvis.
