Biomechanical studies Flashcards
Eskelinen VCOT 2022
Cadaveric canine tibiae , TTT stabilised with
pin + TBW
locking plate + pin + TBW
locking plate + pin
pin + TBW lower strength than pin + locking plate
Brioschi VCOT 2020
Feline cadavers
Block trochleoplasty +/- partial parasagittal patellectomy
Normal felines patella 1mm wider than trochlea
Trochlear depth is 1mm
10-20% of patella is under ridges
patellectomy resulted in 40-50% patellar recession
McKay VS 2023 (Duffy)
3 adjunctive methods of orthopaedic TBW to augment patellar tendon ruptures
Transpatellar + suprapatellar TBW augmentation was superior to either alone
Beer VCOT 2023
Cats with and without MPL hind limb stance
Cats with high grade MPL have tibial torsion, TT displacement, trochlear depth:patellar thickenss ratio - may require TTT and trochleoplasty
