Abstract

This study measured the tibial plateau angle (TPA), a value that predicts cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) and a prerequisite for dynamic stabilization, in small breed dogs. The cadavers of 32 skeletally mature small breed dogs without CCLR were used to measure TPA. Differences were evaluated between males and females, left and right limbs, and among breeds. The mean TPA of all dogs was $26.13^{\circ}{\pm}2.33^{\circ}$. The mean TPAs of left and right limbs were $26.00^{\circ}{\pm}2.23^{\circ}$ and $26.26^{\circ}{\pm}2.45^{\circ}$, respectively, which was not a significant difference. The mean TPAs of male and female dogs were $26.01^{\circ}{\pm}1.57^{\circ}$ and $26^{\circ}.22{\pm}2.80^{\circ}$, respectively, which was also not significant difference. The mean TPAs in Maltese, Poodle, Shih Tzu, and Yorkshire terrier were $26.06^{\circ}{\pm}2.96^{\circ}$, $25.21^{\circ}{\pm}1.38^{\circ}$, $26.65^{\circ}{\pm}2.96^{\circ}$, and $26.27^{\circ}{\pm}1.61^{\circ}$, respectively. Differences in these means were not statistically significant. The TPA measured from this study could provide important information for further investigation of the pathogenesis of and surgical techniques for CCLR in small breed dogs.

본 연구에서는 소형견종에서 전 십자인대 단열과 동적 안정화를 이용한 치료법에서 사용되는 경골 고평부각(the tibial plateau angle)을 측정하였다. 경골 고평부각을 측정하기 위해 성장이 끝난 소형견종 32마리의 사체의 양측 뒷다리를 이용하였다. 성별, 각 양측다리(왼쪽, 오른쪽), 그리고 견종별로 구분하여 경골 고평부각을 평가하였다. 전체 소형견종의 평균 경골 고평부각은 $26.13^{\circ}{\pm}2.33^{\circ}$이었다. 왼쪽 다리와 오른쪽 다리는 각각 $26.00^{\circ}{\pm}2.23^{\circ}$와 $26.26{\pm}2.45$로 측정되었고 성별에 따른 측정에서는 암컷은 $26^{\circ}.22{\pm}2.80^{\circ}$로 수컷은 $26.01^{\circ}{\pm}1.57^{\circ}$로 평가 되었다. 견종별로는 말티즈는 $26.06^{\circ}{\pm}2.96^{\circ}$로 푸들은 $25.21^{\circ}{\pm}1.38^{\circ}$로 시추는 $26.65^{\circ}{\pm}2.96^{\circ}$로 요크셔 테리어는 $26.27^{\circ}{\pm}1.61^{\circ}$로 측정되었다. 모른 측정치의 확률적 유의적 차이는 없었다. 본 연구에서 측정된 소형견의 경골 고평부각은 전 십자인대의 병적 상태평가와 수술 과정에서 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다고 사료된다.
