Tendon and Ligament Injuries

Ex vivo evaluation of novel core tenorrhaphy patterns in dogs

Use of novel patterns ExDCrL, EmDCrL, and MTang improved resistance to loads and gap formation.

Use of a Transarticular Calcaneo-Tibial Locking Plate for Temporary Immobilization of the Tarsocrural Joint following Surgical Repair of Common Calcaneal Tendon Rupture in Eight Dogs

This tecnique appears to be an effective with comparable results to other reported techniques.

Biomechanical evaluation of a novel barbed suture pattern with epitendinous suture augmentation in a canine flexor tendon model

The NBSP repair tested here may be advantageous over monofilament suture repair.

Biomechanical analysis of accessory tendon graft augmentation for primary gastrocnemius tendon reconstruction in dogs

ATG augmentation should be considered as an autologous method to support and strengthen the primary GT repair.

Reconstruction of the cranial cruciate ligament using a semitendinosus autograft in a lapine model

Surgical replacement of a traumatically injured CrCL restored joint stability in the short, medium, and long terms of the study.

Subsequent meniscal tears following tibial tuberosity advancement and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament deficiency: An in vivo experimental study

Subsequent medial meniscal tears and cartilage injury was more prevalent following TTA when compared to TPLO.

Risk factors for severe postoperative complications in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease - A survival analysis

It is important to consider potential effect-modifiers when comparing postoperative complications after CCLD surgery.

Evaluation of a continuous locking novel epitendinous suture pattern with and without a core locking-loop suture on the biomechanical properties of tenorrhaphy constructs in an ex vivo model of canine superficial digital flexor tendon laceration

Augmentation of a core LL suture with an nES pattern significantly increased the strength of tenorrhaphy.

Histologic evidence for a humoral immune response in synovitis associated with cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs

Modulation of biological factors that provoke humoral immune responses may mitigate symptoms of OA after treatment.
