Tendon and Ligament Injuries

Detection and estimation of severity of cranial tibial translation enable the diagnosis of CR and reduces the risk of misdiagnosis.
Unlike the long lateral collateral ligament, both SLCLs are major stabilizers against subluxation toward lateral.
Antebrachiocarpal joint position plays a more important role in craniocaudal antebrachiocarpal joint stability than the palmar radiocarpal and ulnocarpal ligaments.
T1ρ shows promise for possible utility in translational study of cartilage health and warrant further development in this species.
This study provides evidence to support joint exploration in the treatment of CCL disease.
Prosthetic ligament placement may be an alternative to arthrodesis for tarsometatarsal joint stabilization in appropriate patients.
These fundamental principles should be applied broadly to animals enrolled in rehabilitation programs.
