Ruby Joint Stabilization System as a Suitable Method of Extracapsular Repair
… 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 collected using an electromagnetic tracking …

Gait analysis of the hind limb in Labrador Retrievers with and without cranial cruciate ligament disease
… 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. However, weakening secondary to …

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
… the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) deficient stifle 2) To determine if two new tibial suture anchor points would enhance biomechanical function of the lateral fabellar-tibial suture (FTS). Study Design – Experimental. Animals – 28 canine cadaver hind limbs. Methods – Stifles were mounted in a …

Novel approaches to evaluate osteoarthritis in the rabbit lateral meniscectomy model
… = 7 / group). A randomly selected left or right stifle underwent a lateral meniscectomy. The 3 groups were: corticosteroid administration, forced exercise and surgical control. An open field maze was used to assess mobility weekly. The rabbits were euthanitized 47 days after surgery. …

Laser spectroscopy of color centers in yttrium aluminum garnet
… growers that lattice defects in Nd:YAG can stifle laser efficiency, but to date very little has been done to isolate and characterize individual YAG defects. Knowing the spectral characteristics of these defects would make detection of distinct defects in a sample possible. This thesis …

Effect of a single intra-articular injection of bupivacaine on synovial fluid prostaglandin E2 concentrations in normal canine stifles
… with a saline control in normal canine stifles. We hypothesized that bupivacaine stifles would have a significantly elevated PGE2 concentration compared to controls. Stifles from eight healthy, adult Beagles were randomly selected as the treated stifle and infused with bupivacaine. The …

Evaluation of a relatively hyperosmolar irrigation solution for use in equine femorotibial arthroscopy
… periarticular fluid retention based on change in stifle girth and ultrasonographic (US) measurements. The water content of the tissue samples was assessed, and viability of the cartilage tissue was determined. The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) whether an irrigation solution that …

A Clearer Picture of Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Knee and Thumb Through the Lens of Image-Based Finite Element Analysis
… of subchondral bone cysts (SBCs). The equine stifle joint provides a natural animal model for studying SBCs. Finite element models were used to examine three cyst sizes of approximately 0.03 cm3 (C1), 0.5 cm3 (C2), and 1 cm3 (C3) in the equine stifle joint. Fluid pressure was simulated by …
