The piezoelectric cutting tool is a surgical device able to involve only mineralized tissue avoiding neurovascular tissue and other soft tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the sciatic nerve injury observed in dogs underwent iliac osteotomy performed using the piezoelectric cutting tool. (2) Methods: Dogs underwent DPO performed with piezoelectric cutting tool were included. Neurological assessment was performed 6 and 24 h after surgery and then repeated 12 days, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Temporary and or permanent sciatic nerve injury were recorded. (3) Results: 84 DPOs performed in fifty dogs were included. No temporary\/permanent neurological disease associated with iatrogenic damage of the sciatic nerve were observed. (4) Conclusions: The iliac osteotomy performed with piezoelectric cutting tool was not associated to iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci9060259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T05:25:42Z","timestamp":1653974742000},"page":"259","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation of the Iatrogenic Sciatic Nerve Injury following Double Pelvic Osteotomy Performed with Piezoelectric Cutting Tool in Dogs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Roberto","family":"Properzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinica Veterinaria Properzi, Via Santa Maria del Campo 16, 16035 Rapallo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2158-9032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Collivignarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"},{"name":"Clinica Veterinaria San Marco, 35030 Veggiano, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6894-5102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Paolini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0581-4321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda","family":"Bianchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4981-4051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimo","family":"Vignoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9076-8176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilaria","family":"Falerno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"De Bonis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6198-163X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Tamburro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Teramo, 64100 Teramo, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"444","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-10-03-0034","article-title":"Double Pelvic Osteotomy for the Treatment of Hip Dysplasia in Young Dogs","volume":"23","author":"Vezzoni","year":"2010","journal-title":"Vet.
