Evaluation of femoral isometric placement accuracy of internal brace implants and its impact on stifle stability in the management of pivot shift phenomenon following TPLO

Objective

To evaluate the impact of accurate isometric placement of internal brace implants on stifle stability following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in dogs with pivot shift phenomenon and to propose a novel classification system for pivot shift grading.
