Synthetic Patellar Ligament Prosthesis for Treatment of Patellar Fracture in a Dog
Abstract: The aim of this report was to describe the clinical use of a synthetic ligament prosthesis for surgical treatment of a comminuted patellar fracture with disruption of the quadriceps mechanism in a dog. A 17 kg, 3-year-old, female spayed Kelpie was presented with a nonweight-bearing right pelvic limb lameness, after sustaining an acute traumatic comminuted fracture of the patella. The patellar fragments were left in situ and the patellar ligament was replaced with a prosthetic implant to restore continuity of the quadriceps mechanism. The dog showed excellent recovery at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively and showed no evidence of lameness at both 10 weeks and 5 months postoperatively. This case report describes the clinical use of a commercially available prosthesis for the repair of a disrupted quadriceps mechanism with excellent outcomes despite nonunion of the patellar fracture.
