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

Abstract

Thoracolumbar PLC results in satisfactory decompression in most cases with a better outcome in the lumbar spine than the thoracic spine. Achieving a slot depth equal to 2/3 of vertebral body width might facilitate complete decompression.
