“…Today, several surgical techniques have been described whose purpose is based on modifying the anomalous distribution of joint loads; the most common load-shifting modifying osteotomy techniques are bioblique dynamic proximal ulnar osteotomy (BODPUO), sliding humeral osteotomy (SHO), and proximal abduction ulnar osteotomy (PAUL) [ 3 , 4 , 7 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The latter is one of the newest techniques, which was described by Ingo Pfeil who theorized that proximal osteotomy of the ulna fixed by a special plate would shift, abduct, and rotate the ulna, which would lead to lateralization of the paw, thus, unloading the medial compartment [ 3 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. According to the current literature, this procedure seems to present favorable results in the short-term [ 18 ].…”
