Repair of Tendon Disruption Using a Novel Synthetic Fiber Implant in Dogs and Cats: The Surgical Procedure and Three Case Reports

Figure 5

Eight-week postoperative conventional lateral radiography of a feline patient after repair of a patellar tendon rupture, showing the axis of the bone tunnel outlet at the caudal level of tibia and the level of implantation of the interference screw in the tibial crest through metaphysis (almost closed). Note the satisfactory implant position, without enlargement of the bone tunnel at the entry point of the interference screw. Radiolucency at the tip of the screw revealed slight distal displacement, considered as not significant.
