Rate My Professor Otto Lanz

Lanz's academic interests focus on reconstructive surgery and neurosurgery. His scholarly output includes key publications such as "Plating and double‐loop cerclage wiring improve the mechanical performance of the femoral stem after Zurich cementless total hip replacement in cats" (2026), "Characterization of spatiotemporal and kinetic gait variables in dogs with hindlimb ataxia and bilateral hindlimb lameness" (2024), "Use of Spatiotemporal and Kinetic Gait Variables for the Differentiation of Hindlimb Ataxia and Bilateral Hindlimb Lameness in Dogs" (2024), "Bead size has a greater effect on in vitro elution from antimicrobial-impregnated calcium sulfate beads than drug concentration" (2023), "Titanium-Alloy Anchoring System as a Suitable Method of Extracapsular Repair" (2020), and "Biomechanical Comparison of Three Crural Fascia Repair Techniques for Tibial Tuberosity Advancement Surgery" (2019). Notable honors include the Bayer Animal Health Faculty Recognition Award received in 2007 and designation as a founding fellow of the joint replacement surgery subspecialty by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. In 2023, he collaborated with veterinary surgeons in Japan, performing approximately 70 mini total hip replacements on small dogs and cats. Lanz is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Virginia Veterinary Medical Association, American College of Veterinary Surgeons, American Association of Veterinary Clinicians, and Veterinary Wound Healing Association.
