“…Whereas a combination of TPLO and CCWO might be considered for small breed dogs with CCL deficient stifles, stabilization of multiple osteotomies in a small bone is likely to be technically challenging. Nonetheless, combination TPLO and CCWO has been reported in a cat with excessive TPA …”

“…Many techniques have been applied in canine patients to address dynamic laxity of the stifle (12)(13)(14)(15). Surgical techniques described to be successful in the cat include extracapsular surgical repair, tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) and cranial closing wedge osteotomy (1,6,16).…”

Two Domestic Shorthaired cats were diagnosed with longstanding lameness attributed to cranial cruciate ligament deficiency without any history of trauma. One cat had a previous operation in which the lateral nylon suture technique was used, and the other cat was affected by a partial tear of the cranial cruciate ligament. Tibial tuberosity advancement was carried out in both patients, which resulted in long-term resolution of lameness for both. The results of these cases concur with previous studies performed on canine patients in terms of viability of technical application and satisfactory return to weight bearing postoperatively. Further investigation of tibial tuberosity advancement in feline patients is justified.

“…In assessing the TPA, the highest value was 33° found in the groups of healthy cats and dogs with CCL rupture. The TPA in dogs can be considered excessive when exceeding 34° (Duerr et al 2008), and an extreme value of 75° for the tibial plateau was found in one cat (Hoots & Petersen 2005). Maximum TPA value of 37° was observed in a CCL-ruptured cat (Schnabl et al 2009).…”

Radiographic assessment of the proximal tibial angles in dogs and cats with and without cranial cruciate ligament rupture

et al. 2018

The influence of the proximal tibial angles in the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture in dogs is still controversial, and little is known regarding this topic in cats. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the angles of the proximal portion of the tibia in dogs and cats with and without CCL rupture. Retrospective and prospective radiographs of the stifle joints were obtained and divided into four groups. Group 1 was composed of 70 stifle joint images of dogs without orthopedic disorders (healthy dogs), group 2 had 70 stifle joint images of dogs with CCL rupture, group 3 had 50 stifle joint images of cats without orthopedic disorders (healthy cats) and group 4 had 25 stifle joint images of cats with CCL rupture. Radiographs were taken with the stifle joint in the mediolateral projection, positioned at the angle of hind limb support. Between the two groups of dogs evaluated, the dogs with CCL rupture had statistically greater tibial plateau angle (TPA) compared with healthy dogs. No difference was shown in relation to the TPA between healthy cats and cats with CCL rupture. In relation to the patellar ligament angle by tibial plateau method the values for the healthy dogs were significantly higher than those for the CCL ruptured dogs. Similarly, healthy cats had significantly higher mean values than cats with CCL rupture. In the patellar ligament angle by common tangent method there was no significantly difference between the two groups of dogs. Between the two groups of cats, animals with CCL rupture had statistically higher mean values than healthy cats. In general, the groups of dogs showed higher mean values than the groups of cats. For the patellar ligament insertion angle (PLIA) healthy dogs showed a significantly higher mean than dogs with CCL rupture. There was no significant difference between the groups of cats. In conclusion, the TPA and the PLIA possibly influence the etiology of CCL rupture in dogs but not in cats. The low patellar ligament angle measured by common tangent method may favorably influence the reduced incidence of CCL rupture in cats.
