This study was performed in 41 dogs with unilateral or bilateral medial patella luxation (MPL) and/or cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR). These dogs were classified into 4 groups according to MPL grading system. Radiographic evaluation was performed for pelvis and stifle joint in the dogs. Norberg, inclination, quadriceps and femoral varus angle were measured and analyzed with MPL grading and the existence of cranial cruciate ligament rupture. The Norberg and inclination angle showed no differences between 4 grading groups and between CCLR and no CCLR groups. However, quadriceps and femoral varus angle were statistically different between grade 1, 2 and grade 3, 4 groups. They also have shown the statistical difference between CCLR and no CCLR group. Further studies for how these parameters affect the prognosis and the results of surgical treatment of MPL should be needed.

This study was performed to report the signalment, history, and outcome of modified retinacular imbrication technique (MRIT) for treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) in dogs. Nine dogs (12 stifles) presented with chronic hindlimb lameness associated with CCLR. They were 7 males and 2 females. Six were Yorkshire terriers. Mean age was 8 years (range,2 to 14 years), and mean weight was 5.6kg (range, $1.8{\sim}19kg$). Three dogs had bilateral CCLR and six dogs had unilateral CCLR (2 left stifles and 4 right stifles). Nine stifles (8 dogs) had concomitant patellar medial luxation. Surgery was performed in eight stifles (5 dogs) and recovery rate of 100%. Three stifles (2 dogs) were underwent simultaneously femoral trochleoplasty. Mean time to the normal gait after surgery was 30 days. There were not postoperative complications.

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.

A 30 kg, 6-year-old spayed female Samoyed dog was referred with a history of intermittent weight-bearing lameness in her right hindlimb for 3 weeks. The patient hadsurgery to correct a medial patellar luxation in the same limb 3 years prior. Based on the physical examination and radiographic findings, MPL and CCLR of the right hindlimb were diagnosed. Pre-surgical arthroscopy examination was performed, revealing a complete rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament, medial caudal meniscal tears and fibrotic cartilagechanges on the trochlear groove. An arthroscopy-assisted partial meniscectomy was used to repair themedial caudal meniscus. To correct the tibial plateau angle and medial patellar luxation, a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) was performed. A tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT) was performed to realignthe quadriceps mechanism with the trochlear block recession followed by soft tissue reconstruction. The post-surgical recovery was uneventful, and the patient was weight-bearing with normal ambulation on the repaired limb. There were no complications, and the implants were well positioned at the last follow-up. The clinical outcome of the caseindicates that combining TPLO with TTTis a good surgical option for treatingconcurrent CCLR and MPL.

본 연구는 소형견에서 전 십자인대 단열에서 경골 고평부 평탄 골절단술로 치료된 증례의 예후와 수술적 기법에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 5 kg 미만의 7 마리의 성견에서 편측 전 십자인대 단열에서의 경골 고평부 평탄 골절단술을 이용한 증례를 본 연구에서 이용하였다. 임상적 관찰, 파행 지수, 관절의 운동 범위, 대퇴 둘래 길이를 측정하고 수술 후 부작용에 대해 기록하였다. 모든 환자에서 수술 후 1주에 파행 지수 1을 8주 이후에는 파행 지수 0를 보여 주었다. 수술한 다리의 펴짐각은 다른 쪽 정상 다리와 비교하여 4주에 98.11%로 8주에 99.07%로 12주에 98.73%로 측정되었고 굽힘각은 4주에 98.07%로 8주에 95.88%로 12주에 96.35%로 측정되었다. 수술 후 대퇴 둘레 길이는 다른쪽 정상 다리와 비교하여 4주에 92.95%를 8주에 93.68%를 12주에 95.44%를 보여 주었다. 우리가 수술 한 결과는 이전에 보고된 대형견에서 경골 고평부 평탄 골절단술의 이용 결과들과 비교하여 나쁘지 않은 결과를 보여 주었다. 본 증례를 바탕으로 대형견에서와 같이 소형견에서도 경골 고평부 평탄 골절단술이 전 십자인대 단열에서 성공적으로 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

The center of rotation of angulation-based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) has been introduced for the stabilization of cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) in small-breed dogs. This technique can be applied to the tibia without damaging its tuberosity. Although different designs of CBLO plates are available, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plates have been still used for stabilization during CBLO. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have reported the effects of TPLO plates on the postoperative limb alignment after CBLO. Therefore, the present study (January 2020 to February 2021) aimed to compare the postoperative outcomes (postoperative tibial plateau angle [TPA] and tibial alignment) in patients receiving CBLO and TPLO plates during CBLO. Paired stifle joints (n = 16) were obtained from eight toy-breed cadaver dogs (mean weight, 4.4 kg) that underwent CBLO. The joints were randomly assigned to receive the CBLO (CBLO group) or TPLO plates (TPLO group). Pre-and postoperative radiographs were obtained, and the dissected tibiae were evaluated. The following postoperative parameters were compared to evaluate the surgical outcome: TPA, osteotomy location, mechanical medial proximal tibia angle, inter-segment gap, and tibial plateau translation. No significant differences were found in the postoperative alignment between the two groups. Therefore, TPLO plates may be considered as a viable alternative in toy-breed dogs undergoing CBLO.
