Evaluation of a lateral retinacular fascia technique for cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the dog.

A new fascial technique was used to repair artificially induced rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in 20 dogs. Although technically simple to perform, the procedure resulted in only 12 animals free of lameness. In addition, a drawer sign was present in the stifle of 14 animals 31 days after surgery. Arthritis changes typical of cruciate ligament instability were observed in 16 joints; changes were slight to moderate in 10 joints.

Application of temporary splints.

Emergency splintage is a variety of first aid. The procedures which one might expect to find performed before the patient enters the hospital for definitive diagnostic treatment are too often ignored in a busy and otherwise excellent veterinary practice. Simple entrance in the hospital and cage confinement do not appreciably lessen the likelihood of increased self-trauma. The manipulation inherent in physical and radiographic examination of the injured and painful animal is an even greater indication for immobilization to prevent additional trauma. The clinician is dutybound to place a proper splint on the affected animal to lessen subsequent trauma and to prevent edema. The techniques presented allow this application with minimal time and expense and maximal support and protection to the patient.
