Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to develop a CT measurement method for evaluating the conformation of feline femoral, tibial, and patellar structures, comparing measurements between cats with medial patellar luxation (MPL) and those without.
- Eleven specific measurements were taken by two observers, and statistical differences between the MPL and control groups were assessed, alongside the reliability of the measurements (intraobserver and interobserver ICCs).
- Results indicated significant differences in specific angles and dimensions related to patellar and tibial measures between the groups, although the variations were relatively minor, suggesting subtle differences in feline pelvic limb morphology.
Objective: To describe arthroscopic-assisted hip toggle stabilization (AA-HTS) in cats, evaluate its feasibility and associated rate of iatrogenic injury, and assess deviations from planned surgical technique.
Study Design: Ex vivo study.
Animals: Skeletally mature cat cadavers (n = 7).
Objective: To report outcomes and complications associated with total hip replacements (THR) using a multiuser canine hip registry (CHR) and owner-administered questionnaire.
Study Design: Prospective longitudinal clinical study.
Animals: Dogs (n = 1852).
Cranial cruciate ligament rupture in small dogs (<15 kg): a narrative literature review.
J Small Anim Pract
December 2021
Small breed dogs (<15 kg) affected by cranial cruciate ligament rupture secondary to cranial cruciate ligament disease are usually middle-aged (mean age at presentation: 5.4 to 9.8 years); terrier breeds, miniature and toy poodles are over-represented.

Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective cohort study.
Sample Population: Forty-eight client-owned cats.
