Femorotibial surgery in the dog.
Although the femorotibial joint is subject to a number of common abnormalities which have been investigated in the last few years there is still no obvious and agreed optimal treatment in many instances of abnormality. The clinical derangements which occur in the joint are considered and an assessment is made of the state of aetiological knowledge. The most useful way of diagnosing and treating the conditions are also considered.
