Computed Tomographic Trochlear Depth Measurement in Normal Dogs

Abstract: Objectives The main purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between patellar maximal craniocaudal thickness and femoral trochlear groove depth in normal dogs and to valuate the intra-observer or inter-observer variability of maximal trochlear depth and maximal patellar craniocaudal thickness using computed tomography. Methods Trochlear groove depth and patellar maximal craniocaudal thickness of 40 limbs (20 dogs) were measured by three independent veterinarians using three-dimensiona… Show more

“…In this study, we opted for CT rather than radiographs, since a CT standardized methodology to accurately perform measurements on the femoral trochlear groove has been established. 11,12 The benefits of the broad availability of radiographs and ease for performing a skyline view of the femoral trochlea are counteracted by the threedimensional complexity of the trochlea morphology, which changes in proximodistal direction. 7,14,15 Moreover, from the authors' perspective, when performing the skyline radiographic projection, it is difficult to select and analyze one specific point of the trochlear groove.…”

“…In veterinary medicine, this projection has been described to evaluate the FTGD, 8,31 but it is not routinely used. In this study, we opted for CT rather than radiographs, since a CT standardized methodology to accurately perform measurements on the femoral trochlear groove has been established 11,12 . The benefits of the broad availability of radiographs and ease for performing a skyline view of the femoral trochlea are counteracted by the three‐dimensional complexity of the trochlea morphology, which changes in proximodistal direction 7,14,15 …”
