Incidence of Medial Meniscus Injury Detected by Arthroscopy in Toy Breed Dogs (≤5 kg) with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Cases with complete CrCLR or severe lameness are at high risk of MMI and should be evaluated cautiously.

Biceps tenodesis with a bioabsorbable bone anchor using BoneWelding technology: Results in six clinical cases (5 dogs)

Biceps tenodesis using a bioabsorbable bone anchor resulted in rapid restoration of full function.

Correlation between the tibial plateau angle and occurrence of medial meniscal tears in dogs with complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture

A relationship was found to exist between MMT and TPA.

Comments on the “Effect of Tibial Tuberosity Advancement on Femorotibial Shear in Cranial Cruciate-Deficient Stifles. An In Vitro Study”

No justification is provided as to why re-directing the patellar tendon causes a natural automatic re-direction of the F FT force.

Arthroscopic synovitis severity scoring in canine stifles with cranial cruciate ligament disease

Earlier intervention in dogs with CCL disease may be warranted to decrease synovitis and progression of osteoarthritis.

Influence of tibial plateau angle in cranial cruciate ligament–deficient stifle on patellar ligament strain: an ex vivo study

A TPA post-TPLO > 5° and < 15° is less likely to cause an increase in patellar ligament strain.

Biomechanical comparison of four isometric prosthetic ligament repair techniques for tarsal medial collateral ligament injury

The constructs did not provide sufficient resistance to physiologic valgus stress.
