A dog that has injured its knee typically needs a brace on both back legs. It is important to support the healthy knee as well, so that it does not become injured because of uneven weight distribution. Dogs can begin to wear a brace prior to their operation and thereafter, until the kne...
Postoperatively, a non﹚eight bearing sling may be recommended (Robinson sling) for the first 2 weeks after a difficult fracture repair; for large dogs with a complex condition, a trans゛rticular external fixator may be used to protect the reconstructed stifle joint. Support with a pelvic or ...
71,82 The medial meniscus is involved in 79% of cases and, unlike meniscal tears in dogs and humans, only 14% of equine meniscal tears were associated with cranial cruciate ligament injury.71 MRI of clinical cases of stifle lameness also supports that the cranial horn of the medial meniscus...
Objective: To determine the predictive value of meniscal click for specific meniscal tear morphology. Study design: Prospective cohort. Animals: Client-owned dogs (104) with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficiency treated with stifle arthroscopy (111). Methods: All stifles underwent a standardized...
DogsCalcificationOssificationFixationFemurTraumatic stifle injuries commonly cause pain and lameness in cats. In many cases, the ligamentous support structures of the joint are damaged, causing instability, pain, and, eventually, osteoarthritis. This article reviews common surgically treated diseases of the...
Skeletal System: Movement and SupportVeterinary Medicine: Medical SciencesObjective— To develop and assess clinical outcomes for osteochondral autografting for treatment of stifle osteochondrosis (OC) in dogs. Study Design— Retrospective case series. Animals— Dogs with stifle OC (n=10). Methods— ...
There were no statistically significant changes in PVF or VI over time in treated dogs. Conclusion: A single injection of PRP improved kinetics for minimally 4 weeks with some data suggesting an effect for up to 12 weeks. Therefore, PRP might be a viable therapeutic option for ...
such as macrophages and neutrophils, also exhibited some of these receptors. This intriguing finding suggested that the receptors in the ECS, particularly CB2R and GPR55, could be promising targets for therapeutic interventions, such as usingCannabis sativaextract, to address arthropathies in dogs....
