Influence of TPLO and tibial tuberosity advancement on passive laxity of the cranial cruciate deficient stifle in dogs

Vet Surg. 2019 Feb 17. doi: 10.1111/vsu.13177. [Epub ahead of print]

TPLO seems more effective than TTA at restoring craniocaudal stability of the stifle.

Suspected Compartment Syndrome, Consumptive Thrombocytopenia, and Anemia Secondary to a Ruptured Arterial Aneurysm or Pseudoaneurysm Following Multiple Stifle Surgeries

Gait and electromyographic alterations due to early onset of injury and eventual rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in dogs: A pilot study

Vet Surg. 2019 Feb 13. doi: 10.1111/vsu.13178. [Epub ahead of print]

The qualitative analysis of trial-averaged EMG data in this small population supports a relationship between neuromuscular function and induced CCL injury leading to rupture.
