Average Tibial Plateau Angle of 3,922 Stifles Undergoing Surgical Stabilization for Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This updated information may guide clinicians in management decisions regarding treatment for CrCL rupture.

Long-term arthroscopic assessment of intra-articular allografts for treatment of spontaneous cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the dog

These results preclude immediate clinical application.

Biomechanical comparison of knotted and knotless stabilization techniques of the tarsal medial collateral ligament in cats: A cadaveric study

Feline tarsal stabilization with the knotless technique may reduce the requirement for or duration of postoperative coaptation.

Use of a Modified TPLO with Double Cut and Medial Crescentic Closing Wedge Osteotomy to Treat Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Tibial Valgus Deformity

This treatment allows accurate correction of the tibial deformity with a low complication rate.

A Retrospective Study Using the String of Pearls TPLO Locking Plate for the Treatment of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease

The use of SOP TPLO plates is cautioned and further study is warranted.

Effect of bite distance of an epitendinous suture from the repair site on the tensile strength of canine tendon constructs

Addition of an IHMES to an LL construct led to increased ultimate tensile strength.

Effect of bite depth of an epitendinous suture on the biomechanical strength of repaired canine flexor tendons

Suture techniques should be investigated in vivo to determine effects on tendinous healing and blood supply before clinical implementation.

Correlation between orthopaedic and radiographic examination findings and arthroscopic ligament fibre damage in dogs with cruciate ligament rupture

Detection and estimation of severity of cranial tibial translation enable the diagnosis of CR and reduces the risk of misdiagnosis.

The Function of the Short Lateral Collateral Ligaments of the Canine Tarsus: A Cadaveric Study

Unlike the long lateral collateral ligament, both SLCLs are major stabilizers against subluxation toward lateral.

Recommendations for rehabilitation after surgical treatment of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs: A 2017 survey of veterinary practitioners

Most respondents would welcome evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation protocols.
