Correlation between cranial cruciate ligament rupture and meniscal tears in dogs/ Correlacao entre ruptura de ligamento cruzado cranial e lesao de menisco mediai em caes

The study correlated the time of the cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) with medial meniscal tears and the type of injury seen in dogs treated with dynamic stabilization (osteotomies) or static (fabellotibial suture). This retrospective study evaluated the records of 104 dogs (117 stifles). Th...

Description
Summary:The study correlated the time of the cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) with medial meniscal tears and the type of injury seen in dogs treated with dynamic stabilization (osteotomies) or static (fabellotibial suture). This retrospective study evaluated the records of 104 dogs (117 stifles). The osteotomies were performed in 98 stifles, fabellotibial suture in 15 stifles and exploratory arthrotomy was perform in 4 stifles. The average age was of 4.5 years, 41% of the dogs were male and 59% female and the mean body mass was of 32.7kg. The medial meniscal tears observed were: type1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and associations of types 1-4, 1-6 and 1-7. Type 1 was the most prevalent, accounting for 32.5%of cases. No correlation was found between the presence or absence of medial meniscus injury and the time of occurrence of CCLR and between the type of medial meniscal tears and CCLR time. Key words: TPLO, TTA, meniscectomy, stifle, dog. O presente trabalho correlacionou o tempo de ruptura do ligamento cruzado cranial (RLCCr) a lesao em menisco medial e ao tipo de lesao observada em caes tratados por estabilizacao dinamica (osteotomias) ou estatica (sutura fabelo-tibial). Este estudo retrospectivo avaliou os registros de 104 caes (117 joelhos). As osteotomias foram realizadas em 98 articulacoes, a sutura fabelo-tibial em 15 joelhos e, em 4 joelhos, foi realizada apenas artrotomia exploratoria. A media de idade foi 4,5 anos, 41% dos caes eram machos e 59%, femeas e a media da massa corporal foi 32,7kg. Os tipos de lesao do menisco medial observados foram: tipo 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 e associacoes dos tipos 1-4, 1-6 e 1-7. O tipo 1 foi o mais prevalente, sendo responsavel por 32,5% dos casos. Nao foram encontradas correlacoes entre a presenca ou nao de lesao de menisco medial e o tempo de ocorrencia da RLCCr e entre o tipo de lesao de menisco medial e o tempo de RLCCr. Palavras-chave: TPLO, TTA, meniscectomia, joelho, canino.
