“…The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is a structure that can be frequently injured (Bollen, 1998) and is one of the main causes of hind limb lameness in dogs (Piermattei et al, 2006;Korvick et al, 1994). The joint becomes unstable after CCL rupture and may be associated with meniscus and osteoarthritis injuries (Piermattei et al, 2006).…”

The study evaluated the influence of immediate physical therapy on the functional recovery of hind limbs of dogs with experimental cranial cruciate ligament rupture which underwent surgical extracapsular stabilization as well as to verify its interference in joint stability. Eight dogs were randomly divided into two groups: GI (control) (n=4) and GII (physical therapy) (n=4). The dogs in GII underwent the following therapeutic treatments in the postoperative period: cryotherapy, passive joint movement, massage, passive straightening, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy (bath and aquatic mat) and therapeutic exercises. We performed evaluations of the thigh circumference, goniometry, X-ray, and knee stability (drawer test). Results did not demonstrate a significant difference between the groups nor between different post-operative times. Regarding gait analysis, we found that the 4 dogs in GI remained in degree 3 of lameness 45 and 90 days postoperatively. However, in GII, one dog remained in degree 3 45 and 90 days after surgery; one dog changed from degree 3 to 4 90 days after surgery and the other 2 dogs changed from degree 3 to 5 90 days after surgery. It is possible to conclude that dogs with CCL rupture that undergo immediate physical therapy demonstrate better results in regards to functional gait recovery. The therapeutic modalities used in the immediate postoperative period did not cause instability of the operated knee. Further studies are needed with a larger number of dogs to indicate the immediate physical therapy in dogs with CCL ligament rupture which underwent extracapsular stabilization.Keywords: dog, knee, surgery, physiotherapy, trauma RESUMO Avaliou-se a influência da fisioterapia imediata na recuperação funcional do membro pélvico de cães com ruptura experimental do ligamento cruzado cranial (LCC) submetidos à estabilização cirúrgica extracapsular e verificou-se sua interferência na estabilidade articular. Foram utilizados oito cães distribuídos, aleatoriamente, em GI ou controle (n=4) e GII ou fisioterapia (n=4). Nos cães do GII, as modalidades terapêuticas empregadas no pós-operatório foram crioterapia

“…The common causes of haemarthrosis of the knee joint includes intra-articular ligament injury (40%) most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament, patella dislocation (25%), meniscus injury (10%) and osteochondral fracture. 1 2. What factors in history would suggest that patient has sustained a significant injury?…”

A Biomecânica, atualmente, é caracterizada por novos procedimentos para análise do movimento humano e por novas técnicas de medição, armazenamento e processamento de dados, contribuindo para os avanços na prática ortopédica. A temática proposta no presente trabalho baseia-se na aplicação da biomecânica ortopédica em diferentes quadros clínicos, através de avaliações quantitativas do movimento dos membros superiores e inferiores, além da criação de novas técnicas de medição. Três exemplos são mostrados neste artigo: (I) análise tridimensional do movimento de abdução do ombro; (II) análise da marcha de indivíduos com lesão no ligamento cruzado anterior; e (III) o desenvolvimento de instrumentação eletrônica para dispositivos de auxílio, ou seja, bengalas e muletas instrumentalizadas para o estudo das relações de força entre os membros superiores e inferiores, durante a marcha de pacientes com lesão ortopédica e neurológica.
