Tendon and Ligament Injuries

Use of the flexor digitorum lateralis tendon may be considered for repair of a common calcaneal tendon rupture when a gap exists and traditional tendon lengthening techniques are not feasible

Dogs with CCL disease and medial meniscal injury had significantly reduced peak vertical force and vertical impulse

This implant may be suitable for use in canine patients with severe gastrocnemius tendon degeneration. Ongoing evaluation is warranted

Breed predispositions and demographic factors are associated with diagnosis and case management of CCL disease

Bone marrow cells were shown to engraft to the injured CCL in dogs when injected into the articular cavity

The F2-T2 technique was the best consideration for clinical application

A degradable porous polyurethane urea onlay mesh graft was successfully used in a two-year-old dog after traumatic injury

The current surgical techniques extrapolated from the canine counterparts for repair of a completely or partially ruptured patellar ligament can be successfully used in cats

The modified technique is a viable alternative to other osteotomy techniques, according to a study on 50 cases

CCL surgical technique did not affect subsequent meniscal tear rate or mid-term or long-term functional outcomes, whereas diagnosis and treatment of concurrent meniscal tears did significantly affect both
