Effect of Meniscal Release on Rate of Subsequent Meniscal Tears and Owner-Assessed Outcome in Dogs with Cruciate Disease Treated with Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy

To determine and compare rates of meniscal tears after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) among 3 groups of dogs based on treatment method: arthrotomy with meniscal release (openR), arthrotomy without meniscal release (openNR), arthroscopy without meniscal release (scopeNR), and compare long t...

Summary:To determine and compare rates of meniscal tears after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) among 3 groups of dogs based on treatment method: arthrotomy with meniscal release (openR), arthrotomy without meniscal release (openNR), arthroscopy without meniscal release (scopeNR), and compare long term owner-assessed outcomes for the same groups. Retrospective cohort study. Stifles (n=254) of dogs that had TPLO. The three groups were compared for significant (P
