Abstract

Two dogs (Case 1 weighing 27 kg, Case 2 weighing 42 kg) were referred with hindlimb lameness. On physical examination, there was moderate pain on stifle joint testing and mild cranial translation on cranial drawer testing in Case 1. This translation was obvious when the patient was under general anesthesia. Case 2 showed discomfort during hyperextension of the stifle joint, but no significant cranial translation under general anesthesia. Joint effusion was detected on radiography in both cases. Based on physiologic and radiographic examinations, cranial cruciate deficiency was suspected, so exploratory arthroscopy was performed. Arthroscopy revealed partial rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) in both cases. Case 1 showed unstable partial CrCL rupture, while Case 2 had stable CrCL rupture. Tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) was carried out as planned. Seroma occurred one week postoperatively in Case 2, and was removed surgically. The patients returned to satisfactory weight-bearing ambulation 5 months after initial surgery. Based on the results of these cases, TTA appears to be a useful procedure in the treatment of CrCL partial rupture.

두 마리 개가 (증례 1: 27 kg, 증례 2: 42 kg) 뒷다리 파행을 주증으로 내원하였다. 신체검사상, 증례 1은 무릎 검사 시 중증도 통증과 마취 상태에만 경골의 전위 증후을 보였고 증례 2는 과신전시 불편함을 호소하였으나 마취 전후 모두 전위 증후는 관찰되지 않았다. 방사선검사에서 두 증례 모두 관절 내 종창을 확인할 수 있었다. 위의 검사를 바탕으로 전십자인대 단열을 의심하고 관절경을 실시하였다. 관절상에서 증례 1은 불안정한 부분 전십자인대 단열을 증례 2는 안정화된 부분 전십자인대 단열로 진단하였다. 두증례 모두 경골조면 전이동술을 이용하여 치료 하였다. 증례 2에서 술 후 수술 부위에 장액종이 발생하여 수술적으로 제거하였다. 수술 5개월 후 두 증례 모두 임상증상이 개선되었다. 이 증례들을 바탕으로 경골조면 전이동술은 부분 전십자인대 단열에서 유용한 치료법으로 사료된다.
