Ex Vivo Biomechanical Evaluation of the Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament-Deficient Stifle with Varying Angles of Stifle Joint Flexion and Axial loads after Tibial Tuberosity Advancement

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) on cranial tibial thrust (CrTT), retropatellar force (RPF), patellar tendon load (PTL), and patellar tendon angle determined by the tibial plateau angle (PTA TPA ) method or common tangent (PTA CT ) method in the canine cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL)‐deficient stifle joint. Study Design: Ex vivo cadaver study. Sample Population: Cadaveric canine hind limbs (n=30)....
