Abstract

The article discusses a study comparing tibial plateau angles (TPA) in small and large breed dogs. It measured the TPA of small breed dogs and compared it with that of large breed dogs. It concludes with differences in tibial morphology between large and small breed dogs and fails to signify the impact of TPA on cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease in small breed dogs.
