| Abstract | Rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament is one of the leading orthopedic diseases in dogs. Thus aimed to evaluate the technique of “Tightrope” modified (TRM) in the knees of dogs with the purpose of providing less invasive and cost-effective surgery. The surgical procedure was performed in six animals, and these were evaluated up to 120 days postoperatively. The modification of the technique for stabilization of extra capsular CCL consists in using fluorocarbon and the stainless steel wire of 1 mm in order bone fixation. The “TRM” promoted the stability of the knee of patients diagnosed with cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the immediate postoperative period. Clinical follow-up after surgery showed after 30 days postoperatively, improved gait and progressive weight support for ambulation, being all animals recovered clinically at 120 days postoperatively. |
