Association of meniscal injury to joint space width on radiographs
VetRadUS 2019
<3.43 mm dogs weighing 31 kg
association between dogs with a meniscal tear and the corresponding joint space width on standard tibial plateau leveling osteotomy lateral radiographic projections
Laube
Prevalence of Bilateral Meniscal Tears
VCOT 2021
Prevalence Bilateral meniscus tears 48%
Increased in ~Rotti ~older dog ~smaller dog ~complete CCLR
Valen
Modified tibial compression test to detect meniscal injury
JSAP 2017
None of the physical tests were accurate in reflecting meniscal integrity for dogs with cranial cruciate failure.
Palpable click during the modified tibial compression test
~40%
Franklin
US, MRI, and arthroscopy for medial meniscus lesions
JAVMA 2017
US agrees more with arthroscopy than MRI
Imperfect performance but clinical usefulness of both ultrasonography and MRI for diagnosing medial meniscal lesions in dogs.
