The models were produced of white polylactic acid, and the menisci were filled with light-curing red resin. The models showed a similar conformation as the natural specimen harvested from the cadaver, maintaining the same length and width, in addition to reproducing the anatomical structures. From the pre- and post-TPLO radiographs, it was possible to identify the anatomical structures corresponding to the tibial plateau. The preoperative tibial plateau angle was 26.2\u00b0, and the postoperative one ranged between 4.0\u00b0 and 5.3\u00b0 (4.6 \u00b1 0.4\u00b0). In the bird\u2019s-eye photo, the total number of red pixels in the lateral and the medial meniscus was 2,053,995 and 2,140,939, respectively. Before TPLO, only between 14% and 19% of the entire area of the menisci was visible, and the unhidden part of the entire area of the meniscus before TPLO did not differ significantly between the lateral (16.2 \u00b1 1.6%) and the medial (16.4 \u00b1 1.6%) meniscus (p = 0.351). The visible part of the entire meniscus area increased significantly after TPLO both in the lateral and medial menisci (p &lt; 0.001)\u2014mean difference \u00b1 SD of 30.3 \u00b1 4.3% (CI 95%: 27.9%, 32.6%) and 36.4 \u00b1 6.4% (CI 95%: 32.9%, 40.0%), respectively. In conclusion, the intraoperative examination and treatment of dog menisci are easier after TPLO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14010065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,24]],"date-time":"2023-12-24T20:48:37Z","timestamp":1703450917000},"page":"65","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison of the Visibility of Canine Menisci before and after Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy: 3D-Printed Model Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4213-1207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Tr\u0119bacz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anesthesiology of Small Animals, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW, Nowoursynowska 159c, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0665-4502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Frymus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Anesthesiology of Small Animals, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW, Nowoursynowska 159c, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0626-8206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Pawlik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CABIOMEDE Ltd., Karola Olszewskiego 21, 25-663 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Barteczko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CABIOMEDE Ltd., Karola Olszewskiego 21, 25-663 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6136-1104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Kurkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CABIOMEDE Ltd., Karola Olszewskiego 21, 25-663 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4238-8360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Czopowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics, Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW, Nowoursynowska 159c, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5755-490X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Antonowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9285-1272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Kajzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomaterials and Medical Devices Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, Roosevelta 40, 41-800 Zabrze, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"239","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1748486","article-title":"Comparison of two stifle exploratory methods using mini-arthrotomy for diagnosis of canine medial meniscal pathology: An ex vivo study","volume":"35","author":"Kmieciak","year":"2022","journal-title":"Vet.
