Menisci are important intra-articular structures whose main function is attributed to load transmission and impact absorption, reducing biomechanical stress and providing greater osteoarticular stability. In dogs, knee-related disorders are described as the main causes of claudication. This report aims to describe a case of lateral meniscal lesion in a canine without signs of femorotibiopatellar instability, whose main change was claudication. The diagnosis was confirmed through orthopedic evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging, in which an anechogenic line of dissolution of meniscal continuity and intact ligament structures was visualized. As a treatment, the technique of total meniscectomy was chosen, which allowed the recovery of limb function and absence of clinical manifestations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
