Plain-English summary
Two dogs with lameness due to a tendon issue in their front legs were treated with surgery that involved stabilizing the tendon with a plate. After the procedure, both dogs showed significant improvement, and they did not experience any further lameness for over a year. This suggests that the surgical approach was effective in resolving their symptoms and preventing future problems.
