Jon Nanno, DVM Jacqui Nile, BVetMed, SAS, ACVS Catherine Popovitch, DVM, ACVS Timothy M. Schwab, VMD, Reident Cranial cruciate dieae i the mot common caue of lamene in the dog and i the mot frequently encountered orthopedic injury in veterinary medicine. Over the pat 40 year, numerou technique have been developed to overcome the intability created by the ruptured cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) and the ubequent oteoarthriti that develop. However, no perfect procedure ha been created that work in every animal or that halt the development of degenerative joint dieae over time. Pathogenei of cruciate dieae i multi-factorial and include trauma, abnormal tifle biomechanic, a well a biological factor. A recent review of caue of CCL rupture in the April 2010 iue of Veterinary Surgery ugget that only a mall percentage of animal with CCL rupture are a a reult of a ingle traumatic epiode. In fact, abnormal tifle biomechanic and biological change within the joint both play ignificant role in the deterioration of the CCL and ultimate rupture of the ligament. Current thought ha focued on the conformation of the proximal apect of the tibia (i.e. exceive tibial plateau angle and patellar tendon-tibial plateau angle) a primary underlying caue for cruciate ligament rupture, but there ha been no definitive evidence that thee change ignificantly increae the rik for cruciate dieae. Other have uggeted that there i a dyfunction of the paive and active tifle tabilizer (ligament, menici, joint capule, mucular upport), that metabolic/endocrine caue, or the inflammatory cacade perpetuate ligament deterioration. It eem clear that cruciate ligament dieae i caued by contribution of each of the aforementioned caue. With tifle incongruency, repetitive trauma, mucle weakne, and abnormal biology the inflammatory cacade i activated intra-articularly, perpetuating the deterioration of the cruciate ligament fiber, eventually cauing a complete tear. Numerou procedure have been developed over the year to addre cruciate ligament deficiency in companion animal, each with their own ubet of benefit, rik, and ucceful outcome. However, the goal of each of thee procedure remain the ame- to return tability to the tifle and to return the pet to a pain-free, active lifetyle. When evaluating urgical option to tabilize a cruciate deficient tifle, all of thee factor mut be conidered in order to attempt to elect the ideal urgical technique for each individual patient. Currently at Metropolitan Veterinary Aociate, we offer our client two different technique for the treatment of cruciate ligament rupture, 1) the lateral fabellar uture (LS) and 2) the tibial plateau leveling oteotomy (TPLO). The lateral fabellar uture technique i an extra-articular tabilization that remove cranial drawer of the tibia by placing nylon acro the joint in a poition that mimic the orientation of the cranial
3 cruciate ligament. The TPLO tabilize the tifle by rotating the tibial plateau to approximately 6 degree relative to the weightbearing axi. Thi change cranial tibial thrut into caudal tibial thrut and thi i counteracted by the caudal cruciate ligament. Both procedure are reported to have an 85%-90% good to excellent prognoi for full return to function with few complication, however, heated debate continue at all veterinary urgery conference a to which i the bet procedure to perform. In the literature, there ha been no evidencebaed proof of the uperiority of one procedure over the other. A comparion of the hort- and long-term function and development of oteoarthriti in dog having either TPLO or LS wa publihed in the February 2010 Veterinary Surgery. Thi tudy revealed there wa no ignificant difference in ground reaction force or development of oteoarthriti in dog receiving either urgical technique. However, thee animal alo received pot-operative phyical therapy. Owner are alo advied to maintain their dog at an ideal body weight and conider tarting their pet on a glucoamine/ chondroitin joint upplement if they have not already done o. Regardle of the urgical technique ued, mot animal are able to return to normal pre-operative activity level around 12 week pot-operatively. Dog that till have a degree of reidual lamene at 12 week pot-operatively often continue to improve for 6-8 month pot-operatively. Due to the ubequent development of oteoarthriti, many dog will require the tactical ue of non-teroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID ) if they have period of mild lamene or tiffne, particularly aociated with heavier than normal activity level or cold, damp weather. When evaluating animal with cruciate ligament dieae at Metropolitan Veterinary Aociate, we evaluate each animal a an individual, taking into account conformation, breed, activity level, and biological factor. Our goal i alway to addre abnormal biology and biomechanic, decreae pain, retore function, and low the progreion of degenerative joint dieae. Pre-operative radiograph are evaluated cloely to determine if one procedure would produce better long-term outcome over another. We find it important to educate owner on each procedure and work with them to decide on the bet urgical option for their pet. Other factor taken into conideration when chooing a urgical technique include the weight and temperament of the dog, it expected activity level, owner finance and the preence or abence of cruciate ligament dieae in the contra-lateral tifle. It i import to remind owner that even if their dog i currently ound in the other tifle, they have a 40-50% chance that their dog will develop cruciate ligament rupture in the other tifle within 1-2 year of the firt ide becoming clinical. Pot-operatively, animal are monitored cloely and recommendation are made to help them achieve a full recovery. We have found that pot-operative phyical therapy play an important role in rapid recovery, improved weight bearing, and full range of motion and each client i encouraged to have their pet participate in a program near them.
