To resolve the condition, a modified technique using a lateral approach and plate\/rod sliding humeral osteotomy (SHO) was considered. All dogs recovered uneventfully after surgery. There were no major complications, and all dogs were significantly improved compared to pre-operative condition. This novel technique of adding a pin, based on the alteration of the original technique, optimized resistance to fixation failure. An additional benefit was that the lateral approach was surgically familiar and easily allowed bone grafting. All five dogs treated with the novel approach had improved scores for pain and lameness. This study showed that SHO was more stable and less technically demanding with the addition of an intramedullary pin. This is the first report of a lateral approach and plate rod sliding humeral osteotomy to treat MCDE in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10020070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T05:06:14Z","timestamp":1674104774000},"page":"70","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Lateral Approach and Plate Rod Sliding Humeral Osteotomy in Dogs\u2014A Short Case Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"William","family":"McCartney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAH, 38 Warrenhouse Road, Baldoyle, Dublin D13 R2F6, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3997-725X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ciprian","family":"Ober","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Intensive Care, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Calea Manastur 3-5, 400372 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Benito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sandyford, Dublin D18, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.2008.00493.x","article-title":"Techniques of application and initial clinical experience with sliding humeral osteotomy for treatment of medial compartment disease of the canine elbow","volume":"38","author":"Fitzpatrick","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vet.
