Target Trial Emulation: Does surgical versus non-surgical management of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs cause different outcomes?

Surgical management causes a reduction in short- and long-term lameness compared with non-surgical management in dogs.

Novel crescentic, medial-closing, medially translating, centre-of-rotation-of-angulation-based, levelling osteotomy for lateral compartment stifle disease with partial cranial cruciate ligament tear in two dogs

mcmtCBLO reduced or eliminated short- and long-term lameness in these two cases.

Synthesis of surgeon and rehabilitation therapist treatment methods of bicipital tenosynovitis in dogs allows development of an initial consensus therapeutic protocol

Such guidelines can be considered to direct therapeutic strategies for this common condition.
