These results may provide further understanding into extensor mechanism abnormalities associated with TPLO.

The immediate postoperative recovery seemed faster with TTA Rapid, but thereafter there was no difference.

This study provides evidence to support joint exploration in the treatment of CCL disease.

In the current study, a high rate of complications was found in dogs < 20 kg undergoing medial patellar luxation surgery.

Lymphocytes may play a role in the synovitis found in CR joint.

This procedure had a 96.8% long-term resolution of SSI. It should be considered as a treatment option for TPLO SSI.

Further research is required to continue to evaluate the most clinically appropriate technique to repair the medial tibial crural fascia.

The aims of this article are to give the reader as thorough a summary as possible of the diagnosis, treatment, outcome and complications of traumatic stifle luxation.
