In Peterson 2022 et al., on crescent guide in TPLO, what was the primary benefit observed in novice surgeons using the crescent guide over other devices?
A. Improved osteotomy angulation
B. Improved distance of eccentricity (DOE)
C. Shorter time to perform plateau rotation
D. Reduced medial cortical damage
E. Increased tibial alignment precision
Answer: Reduced medial cortical damage
Explanation: Use of the crescent guide resulted in significantly less medial cortical damage compared to the radial guide and standard jig.
In Peterson 2022 et al., on crescent guide in TPLO, what is a noted **limitation** of the crescent guide compared to a standard TPLO jig?
A. It cannot stabilize the saw blade
B. It does not reduce cortical damage
C. It cannot be used in left tibiae
D. It does not aid in fragment stabilization or rotation
E. It requires more time to apply
Answer: It does not aid in fragment stabilization or rotation
Explanation: Unlike a TPLO jig, the crescent guide does not provide fragment stability or assist with plateau rotation.
In Peterson 2022 et al., on crescent guide in TPLO, which device took the longest time to apply in bone models?
A. Crescent guide
B. Standard jig
C. Radial saw guide
D. None – all equal
E. Tibial fixator
Answer: Radial saw guide
Explanation: The radial saw guide took the longest to apply (median 243s), while the crescent guide was the fastest (median 111s).
In Peterson 2022 et al., on crescent guide in TPLO, what was the outcome of comparing osteotomy accuracy among the three devices?
A. Crescent guide showed superior accuracy in all planes
B. Standard jig outperformed radial guide in coronal angulation
C. No significant differences in accuracy were found
D. Accuracy was best with the radial guide
E. Crescent guide showed worst accuracy
Answer: No significant differences in accuracy were found
Explanation: There were no significant differences in DOE, coronal angulation, or axial angulation among the devices in both bone models and cadavers.
In Peterson 2022 et al., on crescent guide in TPLO, how did participants perceive the crescent guide compared to the standard jig and radial guide?
A. No preference was shown
B. Preferred the radial guide
C. Preferred standard jig for ease
D. Most preferred the crescent guide
E. Perceived no differences
Answer: Most preferred the crescent guide
Explanation: 5 of 6 novice participants preferred the crescent guide method over both the radial saw guide and standard jig.
