Patellar ligament rupture in the dog: repair methods and patient outcomes in 43 cases

Abstract: The medical records of dogs receiving surgery for unilateral patellar ligament rupture between 1999 and 2012 at 12 multidisciplinary referral centres were reviewed. Forty-three cases were identified; 26 were traumatic in origin; almost one-third were iatrogenic, of which over three-quarters occurred as a complication following surgical stabilisation of patellar luxation. Treatment involved primary reapposition of the ligament (36 cases). The repair was protected by circumpatellar and/or transpatellar loop(s) o… Show more

“…Patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon injury in dogs (Shipov et al, 2008;Das et al, 2014). The patellar tendon is the terminal insertion of the quadriceps mechanism and contributes to stifle extension (Hermanson, 2012).…”

“…The study by Das and others (2014) reveals a relatively high rate of second surgeries following RPL repair. Failure of repair, necessitating revision, occurred in five cases, failed wires were removed in five cases and femoral fracture occurred in a single case as a complication of TA-ESF.…”

“…Surprisingly, a number of cases (seven of 43) assessed by Das and others (2014) were managed with no tenorrhaphy and only one of these had a poor outcome. Suturing tendons may cause adhesions, resulting in increased friction and reduced function; however, this concern was reported with intrasynovial tendons in the human hand (Amadio 2005) and there is no evidence that adhesions result in poor function in the canine patellar ligament.…”
