Article Synopsis
- The study uses target trial emulation to analyze veterinary data, focusing on the effects of surgical versus non-surgical management for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture in dogs.
- It involved dogs aged 1.5 to 12 years diagnosed with unilateral CCL rupture in 2019, utilizing a framework to account for various factors that could influence outcomes, like age and comorbidities.
- Results showed that surgical management significantly reduced short-term lameness by 25.7% compared to non-surgical treatments, providing insights into better treatment options for this condition.
Case Summary: A 7-month-old female neutered Bengal cat was referred to the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals following unknown trauma.

The fractures were stabilised with tibial and metatarsal external skeletal fixators.
