Background: The tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance is used to determine the necessity of tibial tubercle osteotomy. We conducted this study to determine the extent to which each of the tibial tuberosity lateralization, trochlear groove medialization, and knee rotation angle affects the TT-TG distance in both normal and patella dislocated patients and thereby scrutinize the rationale for tuberosity transfer based on the TT-TG distance. Methods: Retrospective analysis of rotational profile computed tomography was done for patella dislocated and control group patients. Femoral anteversion, tibial torsion, knee rotation angle, tuberosity lateralization, and trochlear groove medialization were assessed in all patients. Relationship of these parameters with the TT-TG distance was investigated to evaluate their effects on the TT-TG distance. Results: We observed that the patellar dislocation group, compared to the control group, had increased TT-TG distance (mean, 19.05 mm vs. 9.02 mm) and greater tuberosity lateralization (mean, 64.1% vs. 60.7%) and tibial external rotation in relation to the femur (mean, $7.9^{\circ}$ vs. $-0.81^{\circ}$). Conclusions: Tuberosity lateralization and knee rotation were factors affecting patellar dislocation. These factors should be considered in addition to the TT-TG distance to determine the need for tibial tubercle osteotomy in patients with patellar dislocation.

Background: Tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT) causes caudalization of the patellar ligament insertion in canine medial patellar luxation, which can lead to increases in patellofemoral contact pressure. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of patellofemoral contact mechanics after craniolateral and caudolateral transposition of tibial tuberosity in normal canine hindlimbs. Methods: Craniolateral and caudolateral transposition of tibial tuberosity was performed in 5 specimens, respectively. The pressure was measured in the specimen before TTT, and then in the same specimen after TTT. In this process, data was obtained in 10 specimens. The measurement results were output as visualization data through the manufacturer's software and numerical data through spreadsheet. Based on these 2 data and the anatomical structure of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) surface, whole measurement area was analysed by dividing into medial, lateral and central area. Results: In craniolateralization of tibial tuberosity, total, medial, central contact pressure was decreased and lateral contact pressure was not statistically changed lateral contact pressure than normal PFJ. In caudolateralization of tibial tuberosity, total, lateral contact pressure was increased and medial contact pressure was not statistically changed than normal PFJ. Although not statistically significant changed, central contact pressure in caudolateralization of tibial tuberosity was increased in all 5 specimens. Conclusions: These results imply that traditional TTT, prone to caudal shift of patellar tendon, can increase retropatellar pressure may lead to various complications and diseases of the stifle joint.

This study compared the biomechanical properties of bone-stapling techniques with those of other fixation methods used for stabilizing tibial tuberosity fractures using 3-dimensionally (3D)-printed canine bone models. Twenty-eight 3D-printed bone models made from computed tomography scan files were used. Tibial tuberosity fractures were simulated using osteotomy. All samples were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 was stabilized with a pin and tension-band wire; group 2, with a pin and an 8 mm-wide bone staple; group 3, with 2 horizontally aligned pins and an 8 mm-wide bone staple; and group 4 with a 10 mm-wide bone staple. Tensile force was applied with vertical distraction until failure occurred. The load and displacement were recorded during the tests. The groups were compared based on the load required to cause displacements of 1, 2, and 3 mm. The maximum failure loads and modes were recorded. The loads at all displacements in group 4 were greater than those in groups 1, 2, and 3. The loads at 1, 2, and 3 mm displacements were similar in groups 1 and 3. There was no significant difference between groups 1 and 3. Groups 1 and 4 provided greater maximum failure loads than groups 2 and 3. Failure occurred because of tearing of the nylon rope, tibial fracture, wire breakage, pin bending, and fracture around the bone staple insertion. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the bone-stapling technique is an acceptable alternative to tension-band wire fixation for the stabilization of tibial tuberosity fractures in canine bone models.

이 연구는 개에서 내측 슬개골 탈구 수술 후에 발생할 수 있는 합병증을 후향적으로 분석한 연구이다. 4년동안 내측 슬개골 탈구를 교정하기 위해 66마리의 개에서 77건의 수술이 시행되었다. 수술은 내측 연부 조직 이완, 외측 연부 조직 긴장, 활차구 사각 성형술, 경골 조면 이식술을 이용하여 실시되었다. 수술 후 6개월 동안 정기적으로 예후를 평가하였다. 실패율은 처음 수술을 한 경우보다 재수술을 한경우에 더 높았고, 가장 흔한 수술 후 합병증은 경골조면 조각의 변위였다. 경골 조면 변위는 핀이 아래쪽으로 삽입되거나, 핀이 경골 조면 조각의 가장자리에 삽입된 경우 혹은 경골 조면이 둔각인 경우에 발생했다. 따라서 경골 조면 이식술을 주의하여 실시하면 합병증을 최소화 할 수 있으며 좋은 예후를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 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.

A 5-year-old 6 kg male mongrel (case 1) and a 7-year-old 4.3 kg male yorkshire terrier (case 2) were presented to Chonbuk animal medical center (CAMC). Both animals had non-weight bearing hind limb lameness. Case 1 had complete rupture of cranial cruciate ligament with grade 3 medial patellar luxation. Case 2 had complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture with grade 4 medial patellar luxation. During surgery, in both cases, trochlear block recession was performed followed by CORA based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) and tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT). General soft tissue reconstructions for medial patellar luxation including medial releasing and lateral imbrication were also performed. Postoperatively, both animals demonstrated excellent recovery and regained normal weight bearing of the affected hind limb without any recognizable complication. CBLO followed by TTT can be a curative surgical option without complications in cases of cranial cruciate ligament rupture with high-grade medial patellar luxation in small breed dogs.
