Patients diagnosed with unilateral cranial cruciate ligament disease requiring a 9- or 12-mm TTA cage were included. Twenty-six consecutive client-owned dogs were prospectively selected for this clinical study. Age, weight, sex, breed, cage size, surgery date, and follow-up time were recorded. Radiographs were scored for healing and measured for PTA immediately, at 6 wk, and at 10 wk postoperatively. All stifles were assessed for complications throughout the study period. Stifles with PGA cages had similar overall healing scores compared to previously reported values for metallic cages, and the PTA was well maintained at 6 and 10 wk postoperatively. Polyglycolic acid cages were associated with a higher complication rate (10\/26, 38%; 95% confidence interval, 0.19\u20130.61) compared with previously reported complication rates for metallic cages. Despite favorable healing scores and overall PTA maintenance, PGA cage use resulted in a high complication rate. Proposed advantages offered by this particular implant over currently used metallic cages are offset by this high complication rate. Additional investigation of bioabsorbable materials and implant design should be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6532","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,26]],"date-time":"2018-01-26T09:11:41Z","timestamp":1516957901000},"page":"85-94","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Short-Term Prospective Clinical Evaluation of a Polyglycolic Acid Tibial Tuberosity Advancement Cage Implant"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Noah B.","family":"Bander","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the MedVet Medical and Cancer Centers for Pets, Worthington, Ohio (N.B.B., M.D.B., A.T.W.); and Department of Statistics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (S.J.N.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew D.","family":"Barnhart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the MedVet Medical and Cancer Centers for Pets, Worthington, Ohio (N.B.B., M.D.B., A.T.W.); and Department of Statistics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (S.J.N.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam T.","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the MedVet Medical and Cancer Centers for Pets, Worthington, Ohio (N.B.B., M.D.B., A.T.W.); and Department of Statistics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (S.J.N.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven J.","family":"Naber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the MedVet Medical and Cancer Centers for Pets, Worthington, Ohio (N.B.B., M.D.B., A.T.W.); and Department of Statistics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (S.J.N.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Textbook of Small Animal Surgery.","first-page":"1817","article-title":"The stifle joint","author":"Vasseur\n              PB","year":"1993","unstructured":"Vasseur\n              PB\n            \n          .
