Custom Total Knee Replacement in a Dog with Femoral Condylar Bone Loss

Abstract

With further refinement and development of commercially available prostheses, TKR should be possible for canine patients.

Canine Total Knee Replacement: Surgical Technique and One‐Year Outcome

“…SUCCESSFUL TOTAL knee replacement (TKR) has been reported in a dog with femoral condyle bone loss 1 . We are unaware of any reports of the surgical technique and results of TKR performed on dogs with stifle osteoarthritis (OA).…”

Cemented Total Knee Replacement in 24 Dogs: Surgical Technique, Clinical Results, and Complications

“…Recently, Liska et al 15 described use of a custom‐designed cemented canine TKR implant to reconstruct a stifle joint with femoral bone loss secondary to traumatic injury. Subsequently, a modular implant and instrumentation system (Canine Total Knee System; BioMedtrix LLC, Boonton, NJ) has been developed for clinical use and is in early clinical trials in veterinary referral centers in the United States and Europe.…”

Stereolithographic 3D Bioprinting for Biomedical Applications

“…Early studies in this field aimed at individualizing total knee replacements for patients were shown to successfully return weight-bearing capacity to damaged limbs in both animal and human models [70,71].
