“…Thus, 41% out of 104 MPL cases had concomitant CCLR. 12 In our study, the number of dogs with previous MPL operation was similar (n=12, 31.6%). There might be an association between MPL and ACL regardless of a previous condition.…”

“…Interestingly, the incidence of concomitance with ACLt rupture was approximately 15.0% in our study, whereas the incidence was 41% in a previous study. 3 Although this difference may be due to different breed distributions such a variation would not completely explain this disparity.…”

“…The higher incidence of MPL in males compared with females is consistent with 3 previous reports. [3][4][5] In a recent report, Linney et al reported that the incidence of re-luxation and re-operation was 6.6% in total for 91 cases of MPL in dogs after non-block recession. 2 In addition, Arthurs et al reported that the complication and reoperation rates after MPL surgery were 18% and 8%, recpectively.…”

“…Consequently, several studies have reported the outcomes after corrective surgery for MPL in dogs. [1][2][3][4][5] The outcome has generally been considered in terms of either post-operative limb function or the development of osteoarthritis. However, few studies have examined in detail the incidence and the types of complications after corrective surgery for patellar luxation.…”

Corrective surgery for canine patellar luxation in 75 cases (107 limbs): landmark for block recession

et al. 2014

Canine medial patellar luxation (MPL) is a very common orthopedic disease in small animals. Because the pathophysiology of this disease involves various pathways, the surgical techniques and results vary according to the veterinarian. Further, the landmark for block recession is not completely clear. We retrospectively evaluated 75 dogs (107 limbs) with MPL in whom our landmark for block recession was used from July 2008 to May 2013. Information regarding the breed, age, sex, body weight, body condition score (BCS), lateral vs bilateral, pre-operative grading, surgical techniques, removal of implants, concomitance with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, re-luxation, re-operation, and rehabilitation was obtained from the medical records. The breeds were as follows: Chihuahua (n=23), Pomeranian (n=12), Yorkshire Terrier (n=9), and so on. The study group consisted of 33 males (castrated n=13) and 42 females (spayed n=21). The median age was 53.3±35.9 months (32-146 months); 13 cases were less than 12 months of age (17.3%). The pre-surgical BCSs were as follows: 1 (n=0), 2 (n=20), 3 (n=24), 4 (n=24) and 5 (n=7). The body weight was 4.51±3.48 kg (1.34-23.0 kg); 71 cases (94.7%) were less than 10 kg. The MPL grades (each limb) were G1 (n=1), G2 (n=18), G3 (n=78), and G4 (n=10); 32 cases were bilateral and 43 cases were unilateral (right n=27; left n=16). The specific surgical procedure (distal femoral osteotomy) was 3 stifles in Chihuahuas. Concurrent with ACL rupture was 16/107 stifles (15.0%) corrected with the over-the-top method or the extracapsular method in Papillons (5/6), Chihuahuas (5/23), and so on. The occurrences of re-luxation and re-operation were 3 out of 107 stifles (2.8%) and 0%, respectively. In this retrospective study, we present a potentially good surgical landmark for block recession of MPL in dogs.

“…This may predispose the dog to ligament injury, in particular the cranial cruciate ligament, which can lead to the progression of arthritis. Concurrent patellar luxation and cranial cruciate rupture is not a rare combination of injuries and may occur in up to 40% of dogs with patellar luxation (Campbell et al 2010). Pathological vertical positions of the patella include patella alta and patella baja, which might predispose dogs to patellar luxation.…”

Use of the modified Insall Salvati method for determination of vertical patellar position in dogs with and without cranial cruciate ligament rupture considering the morphology of the cranio-proximal tibia

et al. 2012

The aim of this study was to evaluate if the modified Insall Salvati (IS) method can be applied for the canine patient despite differences of proximal tibial morphology, and if such potential differences are also seen in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Insall Salvati method is a simple and convenient method for determination of the vertical position of patella, by dividing the length of patella by length of the patellar ligament. The influence of the variable proximal tibial morphology on the modified (IS) index was measured and the value of modified IS index in healthy dogs (n = 25) was compared with dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture (n = 26). Medio-lateral radiographs of 102 stifles were evaluated. Patellar ligament length (PLL), patellar length (PL), modified IS ratio and the height of insertion point of patellar ligament on tibial tuberosity were measured. Data of the IS ratio were compared with the value of the height of the insertion point with no significant difference (P = 0.36). There was no significant difference (P = 0.07) in the PLL:PL ratio between dogs affected or unaffected with cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Based on the results of this study we can conclude that the morphology of the cranioproximal tibia and the height of insertion point of the patellar ligament do not have an influence on the value of the modified IS index both in healthy dogs and in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture.Tibial tuberosity, patella alta/baja, canine stifle joint, cruciate disease
