Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture is one of the most common orthopaedic conditions
in veterinary medicine. CrCL plays a fundamental role in the stability and biomechanics of …

Large animal (non-rodent mammal) models are commonly used in ACL research, but no
species is currently considered the gold standard. Important considerations when selecting …

Objective To determine the ability of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) to address
abnormal femorotibial kinematics caused by cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture during …

Mobility impairments associated with musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis and
degenerative joint disease, affect approximately 200,000 dogs annually and pose a notable …

Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in humans is a common condition
associated with knee pain, joint instability, and secondary osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical …

Here, we report the use of genome-wide association study (GWAS) for the analysis of canine
whole-genome sequencing (WGS) repository data using breed phenotypes. Single …

Objectives To investigate the accuracy and intra‐and interobserver reliability of the cranial
drawer test (CD), tibial compression test (TCT), and the new tibial pivot compression test …

Though the rabbit is a common animal model in musculoskeletal research, there are very
limited data reported on healthy rabbit biomechanics. Our objective was to quantify the …

Although only a few studies have investigated about the development of animal prosthesis,
currently, there is an increasing interest in canine limb prosthesis design and its clinical …

Objective To quantitatively evaluate patellofemoral (PF) kinematics during walking in dogs
with cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) deficiency treated by tibial plateau leveling osteotomy …
