“…Partial and complete cranial cruciate ligament ruptures were assigned as previously defined. 30 Following inspection of the joint, placement of the lateral fabellotibial suture (Securos UK, Coventry, UK) was performed as previously described. 6 The tensile strength of the nylon leader line and the number of sutures placed was based on the bodyweight of the dog and surgeon preference.…”

Objectives This study investigated variables associated with surgical site infection (SSI) in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture managed with stifle joint examination and lateral fabellotibial suture stabilization. Study Design A retrospective study of dogs that had stifle arthroscopy, stifle arthrotomy, or a combination of both, followed by lateral fabellotibial suture stabilization for cranial cruciate ligament rupture. All cases had a minimum follow-up of 90 days. Lameness grades were recorded preoperatively, and at 6-week and final follow-up. Results One hundred fifty procedures in 130 dogs met the inclusion criteria. Overall, SSI rate was 17.3% and removal of the lateral fabellotibial suture was performed in 53% of SSI. Multivariable analysis showed significant association between SSI and bodyweight (p = 0.013), and induction using propofol (p = 0.029). Multilevel ordinal logistic regression analysis showed a greater proportion of dogs had a higher lameness grade at 6-week (p = 0.021) and final follow-up (p = 0.002) assessments in the infected compared with non-infected dogs. Conclusion Our study demonstrated a higher SSI incidence than previously reported in dogs undergoing a lateral fabellotibial suture for cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Bodyweight and induction with propofol were identified as significant risk factors for postoperative SSI. Owners could be advised of an increased SSI risk in larger dogs and consideration should be given to selection of induction agent. Dogs that develop an SSI have a worse lameness grade at 6-week and final follow-up.

“…The data presented are similar to those of previous studies, based only on clinical examination and with a success rate of 85.7% reported for small dogs with body weight below 15 kgs (Vasseur). Latest data concerning non-surgical methods of treatment (Baker and Bake, 2013;Comerford et al, 2013 [6,7] and veterinarians options for these therapeutic modalities [5] did not show a change in trend compared to previous reports [112], the majority of doctors preferring surgical approaches [113][114][115][116].…”

Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) breaks in dogs can be treated by surgical and non-surgical methods. Choice of the treatment method of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dog continues to be a real problem for veterinarian clinicians. This topic has been the subject of many studies. Investigation of the speciality literature data concerning the surgical treatment options in the management of cranial cruciate ligament injuries) in dogs, remains, in the conditions of an informational avalanche, a present concern, The purpose of this study was to analyze additional evidence which have appeared in the literature in the period of 2006 -January 2017 and which advocate with concrete evidences in the favour or disfavour of a particular method of dogs' cranial cruciate ligament injuries treatment. Analysis of online searches using PubMed engine in 403 articles suggest that the data analyzed do not allow accurate comparisons between different treatment procedures of cranial cruciate ligament deficiency in dogs and did not show significant differences nor major changes when compared to previous reports (from 1963 to 2005). New long-term clinical studies must be designed and further biomechanical and kinematic analyses are required to determine the optimal technique, and whether these procedures are superior to other stabilization methods.

“…Sample size calculation was based on historic data in dogs with CCL injury [19] and was planned with the intent to detect a differences in mean weight bearing (peak vertical force / body weight) between Amp T-PLO and 4L TPLO on the limb that underwent a TPLO at an α of 0.5 and a power (β) of 0.8. Sample size calculation 8 yield a sample size of 3 to statistically detect a difference of 20% between groups and a sample size of 9 to statistically detect a difference of 10% between groups.…”

Stance and weight distribution after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in forelimb and hind limb amputee dogs

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Little is known about the weight distribution to the remaining limbs for amputee dogs that undergo orthopedic surgery. The objective of the paper was to describe stance and weight distribution after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in forelimb and in hind limb amputees (Amp TPLO) and to compare them to four-legged TPLO patients (4L TPLO) and amputees without TPLO (Amp). Weight bearing distribution at a stance was compared between groups. Joint angles of forelimb and hind limb joints in a sagittal plane, hind limb orientation in a frontal plane, and pelvic orientation in a transverse plane (pelvic tilt) were measured and compared between groups. Results: Joint angles, hind limb abduction, and pelvic tilt of Amp TPLO and Amp did not differ statistically. Mean weight bearing in the operated hind limb was higher for Amp TPLO than 4L TPLO. Mean weight bearing for thoracic limbs of Amp TPLO and 4L TPLO did not differ statistically. Weight bearing of the hind limb of Amp TPLO and Amp did not differ statistically. Conclusions: The position of the center of mass and posture of Amp TPLO and Amp does not differ. The weight distribution and posture of Amp is not impacted negatively by TPLO.
