The progression of osteoarthritis and clinical function in 29 dogs at least 1 year after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy was evaluated. A previously reported radiographic scoring system was used by 3 investigators to evaluate preoperative and postoperative radiographs for evidence of stifle osteoarthritis. The combined scores were then used to evaluate the progression of osteoarthritis. The difference between the preoperative scores, derived from radiographs taken at the time of surgery, and the postoperative scores based on radiographs taken at least 1 year later was modest but statistically significant. Despite this finding, client satisfaction was very good. Clinical function was assessed by using a previously reported client questionnaire. According to owner assessment at least 1 year after surgery, there was a significant improvement in function after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy when compared with the preoperative status. Improvement in function as measured by the client questionnaire did not significantly predict the radiographic osteoarthritis score.
对29只犬进行胫骨平台水平截骨术后至少1年的骨关节炎进展和临床功能进行了评估。3名研究人员使用先前报道的放射学评分系统，对术前和术后的X光片进行评估，以寻找 stifle 骨关节炎的证据。然后将综合评分用于评估骨关节炎的进展情况。手术时拍摄的X光片得出的术前评分与至少1年后拍摄的X光片得出的术后评分之间的差异虽小，但具有统计学意义。尽管有这一发现，但客户满意度非常高。临床功能通过使用先前报道的客户问卷进行评估。根据主人在术后至少1年的评估，与术前状态相比，胫骨平台水平截骨术后功能有显著改善。客户问卷所衡量的功能改善并不能显著预测放射学骨关节炎评分。
