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.

The association between gonadectomy and timing of gonadectomy, and the risk of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Gonadectomy is associated with increased odds of developing CrCLD in both sexes.

Effect of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Transection during TPLO on Patellar Desmitis in Dogs with Partial Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

This study did not identify a protective effect of transecting the CCL remnant.

Modified Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy (AMA-Based CCWO) to Treat Cranial Cruciate Ligament Deficient Stifle in 204 Dogs Over 50 Kg: Magnitude of the Craniocaudal Angulation of the Proximal Tibia and Rate of Surgical Site Infection

Double-Cut Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy for the Management of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Insufficiency in Dogs with an Excessive Plateau Angle: Early Clinical Results in 16 Dogs

The DCTPLO technique was effective for treating CrCL disease with TPA of up to 43.5° in dogs.

Inter-rater reliability in performing stifle goniometry in normal and cranial cruciate ligament disease affected dogs: a prospective randomized controlled study

The results of this study indicate that compliance may affect goniometric stifle extension measurements.

Mechanical comparison of straight and pre-bent interlocking nails used for the stabilization of a tibial gap fracture model

Pre-bending may reduce the occurrence of tibial nail yield failure.

Short-term outcomes of 43 dogs treated with arthroscopic suturing for meniscal tears associated with cranial cruciate ligament disease

Postoperative stifle stability had an impact on successful treatment.
