Examining cranial cruciate ligament deficiency and its effect on canine gait using Parafac2
… this study presents a successful application to cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient and healthy canine gait data that include incomparable waveforms. Our study focuses on (a) investigating differences and interconnections between the contralateral and ipsilateral limbs of the CCL-deficient …

Assessment of Bacteriuria and Surgical Site Infections in Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease
… of asymptomatic bacteriuria in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease and to determine which clinical parameters and clinicopathologic data are associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria. Another aim was to determine the incidence of surgical site infections in dogs with and without …

Gait analysis of the hind limb in Labrador Retrievers with and without cranial cruciate ligament disease
Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficiency is the leading cause of lameness affecting the stifle joints of large breed dogs, especially Labrador Retrievers. Although CCL disease has been studied extensively, its exact pathogenesis and the primary cause leading to CCL rupture remain controversial. …

Joint motion studies of the normal and cranial cruciate ligament deficient stifle in large breed dogs
Joint motion was measured for the intact and cranial cruciate (CCL) deficient stifle in five large breed dogs. A combined method using an instrumented spatial linkage (ISL) and radiophotogrammetry provided a sensitive method of measuring the three dimensional motion of the stifle over time. It was …

Musculoskeletal Conformation of the Normal and Diseased Canine Stifle With Emphasis on Patella Luxation and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Deficiency
… tibial torsion and malalignment of the patellar ligament. The results support the concept that a muscle imbalance, specifically predominance of the gastrocnemius muscle, may oppose the cranial tibial thrust and predispose Labrador Retrievers to CCL disease.

Effect of 9 mm Tibial Tuberosity Advancement on Cranial Tibial Translation in the Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Deficient Stifle
… of 9 mm tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) on cranial tibial translation (CTT) in cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient canine stifles. Study Design-In vitro cadaveric study. Animals-Twelve canine pelvic limbs. Methods-Each stifle was placed in a jig at 135° with a simulated quadriceps …

Effect of tibial insertion points for lateral suture stabilization on the kinematics of the cranial cruciate ligament deficient-stifle during early, middle and late stance: An in vitro study
… stabilization (LSS) on the kinematics of the cranial cruciate ligament-deficient (CrCL-D) canine stifle during early, middle and late stance.<br />Study design: In vitro biomechanical study: 32 hind limbs from 16 canine cadavers.<br />Methods: Limbs were mounted in a testing jig and an …

A Biomechanical Cadaver Study to Determine the Effectiveness of the Lateral Graft Technique and Isometric Suture Placement for Extracapsular Stabilization of the Cranial Cruciate Ligament Deficient Stifle in the Dog
… a graft of fascia lata and part of the patellar ligament, used in an extracapsular fashion from the tibial crest to the femorofabellar ligament, would eliminate abnormal cranial drawer motion in the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) deficient stifle 2) To determine if two new tibial suture anchor …

The effects a novel extracapsular suture technique (lateral extracapsular suture system or LESSa) on the kinematics of the cranial cruciate deficient stifle
… the relative position of the femur and tibia in cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) intact stifles, CCL deficient stifles, and stifles following a novel extracapsular procedure (lateral extracapsular suture system or LESSa) under load at specific joint angles. Study Design: In vitro biomechanical …

Ruby Joint Stabilization System as a Suitable Method of Extracapsular Repair
… Stabilization System (Ruby) on the motion of the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) deficient stifle. To compare the motion with the Ruby to that of the CrCL-intact and CrCL-deficient stifle. Study Design: Each canine pelvic limb was mounted in a loading jig under 30% body weight. Motion data was …

Blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy of bupivacaine liposomal suspension using static body weight distribution and subjective pain scoring in dogs after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery
… of saline placebo, all with confirmed unilateral cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency. Methods: Preoperatively and up to 48 hours after surgery, Glasgow Composite Measure Short Form (CMPS-SF) pain scores were assigned and using a weight distribution platform, static body weight distribution …

Densitometric Comparison of Autogenous Cancellous Bone Graft and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Tibial Tuberosity Advancement Procedure in Dogs
… Dogs presenting for surgical repair of a cranial cruciate ligament rupture were randomly assigned to one of four groups; TTA with ACBG (TTA-G), TTA with ACBG and ESWT (TTA-GS), TTA with ESWT (TTA-S), and TTA with no additional therapy (TTA-O). Mediolateral radiographs at 0, 4 and 8 weeks …

The Effect of Stifle Angle on Stifle Kinematics following TPLO: An in vitro Experimental Analysis
… (TPLO) to restore normal joint kinematics in a cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL)-deficient stifle through a loaded range of motion. Methods: Paired pelvic limbs from 12 dogs were compared in an in vitro biomechanical study. Each limb was placed in a custom designed jig at 120° of stifle extension …

Locoregional techniques for dogs undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy : a literature review, anesthesiologist survey, and future directions
… levelling osteotomy (TPLO) for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD). While historically the lumbosacral epidural has been considered the primary method of locoregional therapy for dogs undergoing TPLO, the development of peripheral nerve blocks has been a rapidly growing area …
