The aim of this prospective study was to assess the progression of osteoarthritis following tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery. Osteoarthritis was monitored radiographically by means of an osteophyte scale on entry to the study, and at six weeks and six months following surgical intervention. Forty dogs were recruited to the study. At each visit, animals were assessed clinically, radiographically, by force platform analysis and by synovial fluid sampling. The radiographic data is the subject of this report. A significant increase in mean osteophyte score was noted between the entry and six-month examination time point. This increase in the mean osteophyte score was due to the increased score recorded in 16 dogs. However, in the majority of dogs, there was no progression of osteophytosis during the course of this study.
这项前瞻性研究的目的是评估胫骨平台水平截骨术（TPLO）手术后骨关节炎的进展情况。在研究开始时、手术干预后的六周和六个月，通过骨赘量表对骨关节炎进行影像学监测。四十只狗被纳入该研究。每次就诊时，对动物进行临床、影像学、力平台分析和滑液采样评估。本报告的主题是影像学数据。在研究开始和六个月检查时间点之间，平均骨赘评分显著增加。平均骨赘评分的增加是由于16只狗的评分升高。然而，在本研究过程中，大多数狗的骨赘形成没有进展。
