Objectives:
This ex-vivo study assessed the degree of acetabular rotation (AR) achieved by single pelvic osteotomy (SPO) as compared to double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) on canine adult pelvic skeletons.
Methods:
Five canine cadavers, median 28 kg (range 26-32) and 7 years (range 4-9), were used. The pelves were dissected free of soft tissues and fastened to a table. On each side of the pelvis, two 2 mm Kirschner wires were inserted: the first pin was applied in the dorsal aspect of the acetabular rim, the second was approximated to the geometric centre of the ilial wing. A jig system was employed to position the pins in parallel fashion. A fixed digital camera system was positioned to detect the pin’s orientation. SPO was performed on one and DPO on the other side employing 25° DPO plates. Pre-osteotomy images confirmed the parallelism of the landmark pins; post-osteotomy photographs assessed the pin’s deviation which showed the changing angulation between the two pins, corresponding to the degree of ventro-rotation of the acetabulae.
Results:
The mean AR following SPO was 15.65±4.52, and 18.82±5.27 after DPO. There was a ~3.2° difference (18%) between the AR angles achieved by either SPO or by DPO (p = 0.043), confirming feasibility and efficacy of SPO in this experimental set-up
Conclusions:
As shown in this cadaver model, on the average, the SPO technique yielded only 3.2° less acetabular ventro-version (18%) as compared to DPO, when using 25° pre-angled DPO plates
