title: Surgical obliteration and silastic arthroplasty of the canine cricoarytenoid joint.
abstract: The effects of surgical trauma on the cricoarytenoid joint were analyzed using canine models. The cricoarytenoid joints of seven dogs were surgically disrupted. In four of the dogs an arthroplasty with silastic implantation was simultaneously performed. The histologic findings and the unsuccessful functional results are presented and discussed.
