Investigation of knee joint stability in surgically repaired canine cruciate ligament ruptures by cyclic passive joint motions
Abstract: The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture is a prevalent injury in dogs. A consequence of a cruciate ligament rupture is instability in the affected knee joint. A veterinary, mostly surgical treatment of the cruciate ligament rupture is usually unavoidable. The suitability of an arthroscopic surgical method with ligament replacement material was investigated. The stability of the knee joint was determined several times during 1,200 passive robotic motion cycles with movement radius between 90° flexion and 140° extension. The stability condition was measured by triggering the drawer test. After 300 motion cycles, the drawer test could be triggered (positive drawer test). In the following movement cycles up to 1,200 cycles, the drawer test could also be triggered. However, no significant differences occurred between these triggered drawer tests. The ligament replacement material showed no damage and no loosening after the tests. The first results showed that the developed arthroscopic surgical method could be a promising approach for the surgical treatment of cruciate ligament ruptures in canines.
