Arthroscopic Treatment of Chronic Cruciate Ligament Rupture in the Dog without Stifle Stabilization: 13 Cases (2001-2020)

Figure 2

Representative orthogonal radiographic views of stifle from a 9-year-old female spayed Boxer mix (a), a 10-year-old female spayed Collie mix (b), and a 9-year-old male neutered Labrador Retriever (c) with severe osteoarthritis and synovial effusion in which arthroscopy was used as management for CR. Severity of stifle osteoarthritis and synovial effusion were graded based on previously published scales [9]. (a) and (b) represent grade 1 synovial effusion and grade 3 osteophytosis; (c) represents grade 2 synovial effusion and grade 3 osteophytosis. In images (b) and (c), the medial buttress is moderate to severe. The mm of tibial translation is noted in each image.
