Long-term follow-up (&gt;6 months) was obtained via owner questionnaire, which incorporated the Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs clinical metrology instrument.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003Sixty-two HCF were treated in 61 dogs (44 lateral condylar fractures [LCF] and 18 intracondylar (T\/Y) fractures [ICF]). Fifty-one dogs were Spaniels or Spaniel crossbreeds. Intraoperative contouring of the plate was required for one dog\u2014a French Bulldog. Postoperative complications occurred in 14\/42 LCF and 6\/18 ICF; overall there were 14 minor, 8 major, and 2 catastrophic complications. On final follow-up imaging, there was evidence of partial or complete osseous continuity of the condylar part of the fracture 32\/53 HCF (24\/39 LCF and 8\/14 ICF) and lateral epicondylar part of the fracture in 53\/53 HCF (39\/39 LCF and 14\/14 ICF). At final reexamination, 20\/28 dogs with LCF and 5\/13 dogs with ICF were not lame and the remaining dogs demonstrated mild lameness. According to the owner questionnaire, 17\/17 dogs with LCF and 8\/10 dogs with ICF returned to full limb use and median Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs scores were 2\/52 for LCF and 6.5\/52 for
