Evaluation of intra- and interobserver variability and repeatability of tibial plateau angle measurements with digital radiography using a novel digital radiographic program.

Objective: To compare the intra- and interobserver variability occurring when observers with differing experience levels measure tibial plateau angles (TPAs) with a novel digital radiographic projection program (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy [TPLO] planning program), the Kodak Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), and standard sized printed films (SF).

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Sample Population: Dogs (n=36) with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture that had a TPLO.

Clinical applications of demineralized bone matrix: a retrospective and case-matched study of seventy-five dogs.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcome in dogs treated with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as an adjunct to orthopedic procedures.

Study Design: Retrospective and case-match study.

Animals: Dogs (n=75).
