The cases had no owner\u2010perceived issues and underwent routinely prescribed radiographic follow up between 40 and 60 postoperative days after TPLO performed by one experienced surgeon. Complications identified on physical examination (PE) and radiographic examination (RE) were recorded, along with any changes to the postoperative plan. Medical records of 50 consecutive cases that had short\u2010term and intermediate\u2010term (\u2265180\u2009days) REs and PEs were reviewed similarly (intermediate\u2010term group).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010one cases in the short\u2010term group had no complications on PE or RE. Forty\u2010nine dogs were diagnosed with minor complications (patellar ligament desmitis, patella or fibula fracture, gait abnormalities): 42 on RE only; 6 on PE and RE; 1 on PE only. Exercise restriction was extended for 2\u2009weeks in 2 cases with radiographic patellar ligament desmitis. Two cases in the intermediate\u2010term group had minor complications at intermediate\u2010term RE.
