Bone plates applied to the cranial surfaces of the tibia, the tarsus, and the metatarsus were used in 10 dogs and 1 cat that underwent pantarsal arthrodesis. Lengthening plates were used in 7 dogs, and 2.7- and 3.5-mm dynamic compression plates were used in the remaining dogs and the cat. Radiography was used to determine whether bone plates became loose or broke, and whether the joint fused completely. Bone plates became loose in 5 dogs; mean time between surgery and development of radiographic evidence of plate loosening was 19.4 months. The bone plate used in the cat broke 4 months after surgery. Overall, 9 of 11 animals had evidence of complete bony fusion of the tarsus at the time of the last radiographic evaluation. One dog had incomplete healing of the talocalcaneocentral joint and another dog had incomplete healing of the tarsometatarsal joint.
将骨板应用于10只犬和1只猫的胫骨、跗骨和跖骨的颅面，这些动物接受了跗关节固定术。7只犬使用了延长板，其余犬和猫使用了2.7毫米和3.5毫米的动力加压板。通过放射照相术来确定骨板是否松动或断裂，以及关节是否完全融合。5只犬的骨板出现松动；手术至放射学证据显示骨板松动之间的平均时间为19.4个月。猫所使用的骨板在术后4个月断裂。总体而言，在最后一次放射学评估时，11只动物中有9只显示跗骨完全骨性融合。1只犬的距跟中关节愈合不完全，另1只犬的跗跖关节愈合不完全。
