The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new extracapsular surgical technique for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small breed dogs. Nine small breed dogs (seven females and two males) weighing ≤ 15 kg were treated with biceps femoris muscle transposition (BFT). The duration of the BFT procedure was 20 min. Each patient underwent a standard clinical protocol and a questionnaire for the owners. Follow-up (at 1, 3, and 12 months postoperative) confirmed significant improvement in all patients, especially at 1 month postoperatively (p < 0.01) and again after complete stifle joint assessment at 3 months postoperatively. After 12 months, only two patients showed a slight increase in osteoarthritis. According to our results, BFT is a simple extracapsular surgical technique that can be used for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small breed dogs.
本研究的目的是评估一种用于治疗小型犬颅交叉韧带断裂的新的关节囊外手术技术。对9只体重≤15千克的小型犬(7只雌性和2只雄性)进行了股二头肌转位术(BFT)治疗。BFT手术持续时间为20分钟。每只犬均接受了标准临床方案和针对犬主的问卷调查。随访(术后1个月、3个月和12个月)证实所有犬均有显著改善,尤其是术后1个月时(p<0.01),术后3个月对膝关节进行全面评估后再次出现显著改善。12个月后,只有两只犬的骨关节炎略有加重。根据我们的结果,BFT是一种简单的关节囊外手术技术,可用于治疗小型犬的颅交叉韧带断裂。
