Correction of Excessive Tibial Plateau Angle and Limb Shortening in a Juvenile Dog Using a Hinged Circular Fixator Construct and Distraction Osteogenesis

Figure 1

Composite radiograph of the dog’s pelvic limbs depicting limb length disparity. These radiographs were obtained 6 weeks following initial fracture stabilization. The left femur was 18% shorter than the right femur. The left tibia was 7% shorter than the right tibia. Left pelvic limb muscle atrophy, proximal tibial varus and internal torsion were also evident.
