Arthroscopy and arthrotomy were equally effective for medial meniscal release but arthroscopy was minimally advantageous at preventing iatrogenic damage to the caudal cruciate ligament: a canine cadaveric study [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceObjectiveTo compare efficacy of four techniques used for medial meniscal release by medial caudal meniscotibial ligament transection and evaluate associated iatrogenic damage to the medial meniscus, caudal cruciate ligament (CdCL), and articular ...

Ex vivo biomechanical investigations of combined extra- and intracapsular stabilization in canines with cranial cruciate ligament deficiency [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntracapsular reconstruction (ICR) has long been recommended as a treatment for cranial cruciate ligament deficiency (CCLD) in dogs, but it has fallen out of favor due to its inferior long-term functional outcomes. These outcomes may be attributed to the

Double-Needle Meniscal Suture Technique: Technical Description and Clinical Application in Dogs [PDF]
AnimalsCurrent treatments for medial meniscus lesions in association with CCL ruptures have shown disappointing long-term outcomes. Meniscal suturing may improve the outcome, but their clinical application remains limited.

Exercise on a vibratory platform increases blood perfusion on the stifle joint and rectal temperature in healthy dogs [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2020 The effects of two vibration platform (VP) exercise protocols on stifle and rectal temperatures were evaluated. Eleven animals participated in two exercise protocols, different in duration in each exercise.

Determination of the Stifle Angle at Standing Position in Dogs
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Background: The cranial cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases encountered in dogs. Surgical techniques have been developed to stabilize the stifle, with an overall accepted benefit of tibial osteotomies among which is ...
