[Arthroscopic case sharing] Anterior cruciate ligament rupture of Bichon Dog ~ Teacher Du Lang of Hengjia, Kunming!

Breed: Bichon

Nickname: Baby

Age: 5 years old

Gender: Male (unneutered)

Weight: 5.2Kg

Due to lameness in the right hind limb, the clinical examination of the right hind limb knee drawer was positive and the anterior cruciate ligament was diagnosed. During the operation, the new equipment of BlueSAO- arthroscopy was further examined, and it was finally determined that the anterior cruciate ligament was ruptured. The posterior cruciate ligament was intact. The meniscus was intact.It was decided to undergo TPLO surgery.

During the operation, BlueSAO TPLO-5.5 mm R pure titanium locking bone plate was selected for internal fixation. The operation was completed successfully and normal exercise status was restored to 3 days after the operation. Hope it can recover as soon as possible!

Thank you very much for sharing the BlueSAO arthroscopy clinical case brought by Dr. Du Lang of Kunming Hengjia Pet Hospital!

Summary, can TPLO surgery be directly treated for cases with positive drawer experiments?

The answer is yes, but further use of arthroscopy will have more clinical advantages. Through BlueSAOarthroscopy, we can understand more intra-articular conditions. In this case, we knew the integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament, and at the same time, we also found out the health status of the meniscus, which is very important and very confident in the prognosis. Once there is a potential problem with the meniscus, BlueSAOcan also guide us to repair, perform partial resection or release under arthroscopy.

Faced with the difficult-to-diagnose lame problem, BlueSAOarthroscopy broke the diagnostic deadlock. As the "third eye" of clinical diagnosis and treatment, it uses minimally invasive exploration to penetrate into the details of joints, accurately capture the clues of the disease, and clear away the fog for scientific diagnosis and treatment.
