To compare the peak vertical force (PVF) and vertical impulse (VI) in dogs with naturally occurring cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease with or without concurrent meniscal injury.
Prospective case series.
Client-owned dogs with naturally occurring CCL disease.
Dogs with hind limb lameness because of CCL disease that required surgery underwent force plate gait analysis. Force plate analysis was performed at a walking gait (speed 1-1.3 m/s; acceleration ± 0.5 m/s(2)) and data were analyzed using commercial proprietary software. Meniscal injury was diagnosed either by mini-arthrotomy or arthroscopy. The primary outcome was PVF and the secondary outcome was VI. Comparisons were made between dogs with or without meniscal injury, and dogs with partial or complete CCL rupture.
Forty dogs were included. Meniscal injury was present in 18/40 dogs (45%). PVF (P = .003) and VI (P = .01) were significantly lower in dogs with meniscal injury than in dogs without meniscal injury.
Dogs with CCL disease and medial meniscal injury had significantly reduced PVF and VI.
比较患有自然发生的颅交叉韧带(CCL)疾病且伴有或不伴有半月板损伤的犬的垂直峰值力(PVF)和垂直冲量(VI)。
前瞻性病例系列。
患有自然发生的CCL疾病的客户拥有的犬。
因CCL疾病导致后肢跛行且需要手术的犬接受测力板步态分析。在步行步态(速度1 - 1.3米/秒;加速度±0.5米/秒²)下进行测力板分析,并使用商业专有软件分析数据。通过微型关节切开术或关节镜检查诊断半月板损伤。主要结局是PVF,次要结局是VI。对有或无半月板损伤的犬以及部分或完全CCL断裂的犬进行比较。
共纳入40只犬。40只犬中有18只(45%)存在半月板损伤。有半月板损伤的犬的PVF(P = 0.003)和VI(P = 0.01)显著低于无半月板损伤的犬。
患有CCL疾病和内侧半月板损伤的犬的PVF和VI显著降低。
