Dr. David Mason, while at the University of California - Davis, used a PPS T-2000 system to measure the normal pressures and forces in the canine elbow and then monitor how these could be changed by various surgical techniques. The overall aim was to move forces from the medial aspect of the joint laterally as a treatment for the large number of dogs with end stage elbow disease.
"The canine elbow joint is a difficult joint for us to investigate due to its unique anatomical conformation with many angles and curves. So far we have had little success with the array of sensors that we have tried. " very happy with for the results we are getting and so thanks again.”
