Simultaneous Modified Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy and Tibial Tuberosity Transposition for Grade IV Medial Patellar Luxation and Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease in Small-Breed Dogs
This study explored the complications and prognosis of modified tibial plateau leveling osteotomy with tibial tuberosity transposition (mTPLO-TTT) for simultaneously correcting high-grade medial patellar luxation (MPL) and cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) in small-breed dogs.

| description | This study explored the complications and prognosis of modified tibial plateau leveling osteotomy with tibial tuberosity transposition (mTPLO-TTT) for simultaneously correcting high-grade medial patellar luxation (MPL) and cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) in small-breed dogs. This retrospective study evaluated patient data, lameness scores, radiographic outcomes, and complications over a median follow-up period of 10 weeks. Additionally, an owner interview was conducted 6 months postoperatively. Nine stifles from seven dogs were included in this study. All cases showed satisfactory patellar alignment and stability after surgery, with no major complications or reluxations. The lameness scores improved, and radiographic assessments confirmed implant stability and appropriate bone healing. Owner-reported outcomes at 6 months were also favorable. These findings suggest that simultaneous mTPLO-TTT is an effective surgical option for small-breed dogs with concurrent CCLD and Grade IV MPL. |
