Tendon and Ligament Injuries

Femoral fixation of a canine hamstring graft craniodistal to the lateral fabella conferred the best joint stability

A reliable option with acceptable complication rates

A treatment option with good short- and medium-term outcomes

Proximalization of the tibial tuberosity reduces PLA when compared to TTA without tibial tuberosity proximalization.

The preliminary results support the use of TPLO in cats, but larger case numbers are needed to evaluate its practicability, as well as long-term outcome.

The procedure was generally effective at improving lameness scores, but did not consistently maintain postoperative stifle stability and had an unacceptably high complication rate

A potential cause of chronic hindlimb lameness in medium to large breed dogs. MRI is suited for diagnosis and treatment is generally conservative.

Large mineralisations in feline stifles are ossifications in periarticular tissue and are associated with degenerative joint disease

Clinical status, radiographic evaluation, and owner questionnaire confirmed a good outcome

Well tolerated, with complication rates historically similar to dogs undergoing unilateral or staged bilateral surgery
