Fig. 1

Four mediolateral projections of the left stifle of a dog in the DBM mix group made with the stifle in 135° of flexion. (a) immediately postoperatively, (b) 1 month postoperatively, (c) 2 months postoperatively; (d) 3 months postoperatively. Note the progressive, heterogeneous increase in mineral opacity within the osteotomy gap over time, with progressive sclerosis of the osteotomy margins consistent with healing. On images (b-d), the patellar ligament is thickened. The increased soft tissue within the stifle joint and the moderate osteophyte production remain relatively static over time
