Factors contributing to the variability of a predictive score for cranial cruciate ligament deficiency in Labrador Retrievers
BACKGROUND We recently reported that a conformation score derived from the tibial plateau angle (TPA) and the femoral anteversion angle (FAA), best discriminates limbs predisposed to, or affected by cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD), from those that are at low risk for CCLD. The specificity and sensitivity of this score were high enough to support further investigations toward its use fo...
متن کاملStifle synovial cyst in a Labrador Retriever with concurrent cranial cruciate ligament deficiency.
A seven-year-old Labrador Retriever dog was presented with the complaint of chronic left hindlimb lameness. A diagnosis of partial rupture of the left cranial cruciate ligament with concurrent cranio-medial synovial cyst formation was made. This cystic structure was assumed to be communicating with the stifle joint. There was no evidence of a meniscal tear, but superficial fibrillation of the a...
متن کاملFactors contributing to the decision to perform a cesarean section in Labrador retrievers
BACKGROUND In the past 10 years, the frequency of unplanned cesarean sections in the Labrador Retriever breeding colony at Guiding Eyes for the Blind stayed around 10% (range 5% to 28%). To reduce the number of cesarean sections, factors influencing the occurrence of a cesarean section need to be known. The goal of this study was to identify factors that contribute to the decision to perform a ...
متن کاملComparison of tibial plateau angles in normal and cranial cruciate deficient stifles of Labrador retrievers.
OBJECTIVE To investigate tibial plateau angles (TPA) in normal and cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) deficient stifles of Labrador retrievers. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS Eighty-one client-owned purebred Labrador retrievers. METHODS Lateral radiographs of the tibia were obtained from 2 groups of dogs. Group I (42 dogs) had CCL rupture diagnosed by arthrotomy or arthrosc...
