Combined tibial plateau levelling osteotomy and tibial tuberosity transposition for treatment of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency with concomitant medial patellar luxation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the surgical technique and report short-term outcome for combined tibial plateau levelling osteotomy and tibial tuberosity transposition (TPLO-TTT) as an option in the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency with concomitant medial patellar luxation.

Methods

Medical records were reviewed (2011-2013) of dogs that underwent a standard tibial plateau levelling osteotomy followed by a tibial tuberosity transposition in the frontal plane and stabilized with pin and tension-band wire fixation as a component of surgical treatment for combined cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency and medial patellar luxation. Signalment, fixation method together with any ancillary procedures, function at the in-hospital follow-up examinations, and any complicat
