Question 1:
Short radius syndrome in dogs is primarily characterized by the radius being shorter than the ulna. What is the main consequence of this condition on the elbow joint?
A) A decrease in transarticular load on the medial coronoid region of the ulna.
B) An increase in transarticular load on the medial coronoid region of the ulna.
C) Improved normal radiohumeral articulation.
D) Elimination of the "step-defect" between the radius and ulna.

Question 2:
In the described Acute Arthroscopically Assisted Ulnar Shortening (AUS) procedure, what key enhancement was added by the authors of this study compared to earlier descriptions of the technique?
A) The use of an external skeletal fixator for gradual correction.
B) The exclusive use of orthopedic wire for stabilization without additional implants.
C) The addition of a bone plate to improve stability at the ulnar ostectomy site.
D) Performing the procedure without arthroscopic control.

Question 3:
What was the observed improvement in lameness scores for dogs treated with Acute Arthroscopically Assisted Ulnar Shortening (AUS) in this study?
A) The median lameness score improved from 0 to 1.
B) The median lameness score improved from 4 to 0.
C) The median lameness score improved from 2 to 1.
D) There was no statistically significant change in lameness scores.

Question 4:
According to the study, what diagnostic method is considered the "gold standard" for intraoperative assessment of radioulnar congruency during the Acute Arthroscopically Assisted Ulnar Shortening (AUS) procedure?
A) Preoperative radiography.
B) Postoperative computed tomography (CT).
C) Arthroscopy.
D) Manual palpation of the joint by the surgeon.
