Partial Lateral Corpectomy of the Thoracolumbar Spine in 51 Dogs: Assessment of Slot Morphometry and Spinal Cord Decompression

Objective: To report slot morphometry, degree of spinal decompression, and factors influencing decompression after partial lateral corpectomy (PLC) of the thoracolumbar spine in dogs with intervertebral disc disease. Study Design: Case series. Animals: Dogs (n=51) with predominantly ventrally located spinal cord compression. Methods: PLC (n=60) were performed. Spinal cord compression was determined by computed tomographic (CT) myelography...
