🔍 Key Findings
- Study Type: In silico 3D modeling of canine tibiae (n = 20 limbs)
- Four techniques evaluated:
- Proximal-centered wedge
- Middle-centered wedge
- Distal-centered wedge
- Slocum-type wedge (based on tibial plateau and cranial cortex)
- Target TPA: 5°
- Most accurate: Slocum technique had the smallest mean prediction error (mean = –0.7°, SD = 0.5°)
- Least accurate: Proximal-centered wedge (mean error = –2.9°, SD = 1.2°)
- Error variation: Prediction error increased with greater initial TPA; high correlation (R² = 0.74)
- Conclusion: Planning based on tibial plateau and cranial cortex (Slocum method) yields better TPA predictability
