Tendon and Ligament Injuries

Despite the complications, overall return to subjective normal or acceptable function, as assessed by the owners, was achieved in the majority of cases.

Cellular lubricant-based modification of allograft tendons improved digit function and reduced the adhesions compared with autograft for flexor tendon reconstruction. However, improvement of graft-to-host tendon healing is still challenging.

Owners commonly sought a stifle orthosis for CrCL deficiency due to reservations regarding surgical management.

Finite element models have been used for years in human medicine to study the dynamic behavior of structures, but it has been mostly overlooked in veterinary studies.

Overall, the agreement on radiographic interpretation of CCLR was high

A water level at or above the stifle will achieve the best stifle kinematics following surgical stifle stabilisation

Good health with normal gait and activity level at long-term follow-up 8 years postoperatively

Arterial hemorrhage can be controlled by occlusion of the compromised artery through distraction of the osteotomy gap

Abnormal PF kinematics may play a role in the development of osteoarthritis that is commonly observed in the PF joint CrCL-deficient stifles

A safe, repeatable alternative to the treaditional TTA, with similar outcome and complication rates
