Stifle

The selected methods have high correlation and could be used as a reliable method in veterinary orthopedics.

The 3LSLS technique with size-2 ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene suture was as effective at resistance to 1 - and 3-mm gap formation as the M3LP with size-0 monofilament polypropylene suture.

Setting the postoperative TPA at 6° may cause excessive rotation in patients with a normal tensile force of the stifle flexor muscles.

The tibial tuberosity advancement technique leads to acceptable outcomes in small dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture.

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

Postoperative CS can develop in combination with peripheral arterial aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.

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.

These results suggest that PL in puppies is primarily influenced by genetics, especially in Toy Poodles.

Poor blood supply to the core region could be an important underlying condition for spontaneous degeneration of the CCL in at-risk dogs.

The TPA can be successfully measured with up to 30° of internal and external tibial rotation in CrCL-deficient stifles with no osteoarthritic changes.
