Abstract
The major complication rate after tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) was 4.0% (11 cases), including 10 cases of subsequent meniscal tear (3.6%) and 1 case of tibial shaft fracture (0.4%). In all the revision cases, lameness disappeared and functional recovery of stifle was observed. TTA is a safe surgical technique, resulting in only 4.0% of revision interventions. Complications can be prevented on the basis of the basic right meniscal treatment with accurate arthroscopic meniscal scrutiny, preoperative planning, and precise surgery.
