Interfragmentary compression was assessed using pressure-sensitive films (Prescale, Fujifilm, Atherstone, United Kingdom). Seven compression methods were tested: (1) Kern bone holding forceps clamping the craniodistal aspect of the TPLO plate to the caudal aspect of the tibia (K); (2) using the distal TPLO plate dynamic compression hole (P); (3) pointed bone reduction forceps engaging the caudal aspect of the proximal bone fragment and the cranial aspect of the tibial crest (F); (4) K\u2009+\u2009P; (5) K\u2009+\u2009F; (6) F\u2009+\u2009P; and (7) K\u2009+\u2009F\u2009+\u2009P. Five measurements were obtained for each method, and each bone model was used for two measurements (single method,\u2009\u00b1\u2009plate). The interfragmentary surface was digitalized and divided into quadrants for standardization and pixel density calculation: Q1, craniomedial; Q2, craniolateral; Q3, caudomedial; and Q4, caudolateral. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc tests were used for statistical analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Mean pressures per quadrant differed significantly between methods (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Methods K, F, and P produced more craniomedial, craniolateral, and caudal compression, respectively. Method K resulted in loss of caudal compression (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Method F\u2009+\u2009P provided the most even distribution of high interfragmentary compression forces. The addition of method K to this construct (K\u2009+\u2009F\u2009+\u2009P) marginally increased cranial compression (p\u2009=\u20090.189 for Q1; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for Q2), but reduced compression caudally (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Method F\u2009+\u2009P provided more even interfragmentary compression. If method K were used, then combined use with method F\u2009+\u2009P would be recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1778132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]],"date-time":"2024-01-09T00:03:25Z","timestamp":1704758605000},"page":"130-137","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["In
