The aim of the study was to find out the efficacy of rehabilitative techniques postoperatively of extracapsular stabilized cranial cruciate ligament deficiency dogs. Twelve dogs were treated surgically by extracapsular imbrication method. Post operatively six dogs were rehabilitated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation and different therapeutic exercise. The lameness score and weight score and girth of thigh differ significantly between them. Range of motion and girth also improved but non significantly. There was an early recovery in physiotherapy group dogs as compared to dogs in the non physiotherapy group.

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease

Surgery for cranial cruciate ligament disease is often recommended; however, it is unclear if one procedure is superior. The aim of this systematic review was to answer the a priori question, “Is there a surgical procedure that will allow a consistent return to normal clinical function in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease and is that procedure superior to others?” A systematic literature search was performed through September 2013. Peer reviewed publication in the English language and 6 mo of postoperative follow-up were required. In total, 444 manuscripts were identified and reviewed, and 34 met the inclusion criteria. Two studies provided level 1, 6 provided level 2, 6 provided level 3, and 20 provided level 4 evidence relative to the study question. The most common surgical procedures included tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO, n = 14), lateral extracapsular suture (n = 13), tibial tuberosity advancement (n = 6). The strength of the evaluated evidence most strongly supports the ability of the TPLO in the ability to return dogs to normal function. It also provided strong support that functional recovery in the intermediate postoperative time period was superior following TPLO compared with lateral extracapsular suture. There was insufficient data to adequately evaluate other surgical procedures.

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease

The assessment of limb conformations in veterinary orthopedics is a significant tool used to determine the quantitative degree of limb malalignments. As in human medicine, various studies have been undertaken in veterinary medicine to determine the values in different dog breeds and to determine the values in healthy and diseased dogs. The objectives of this systematic review were to evaluate the reported values in these articles separately, to compile the standard values, and to compare the values between dogs with and without various orthopedic diseases. All of the articles included in this systematic review were collected by screening the Scopus, PubMed/Medline, and Web of Science databases. The articles were evaluated according to the measured alignments, imaging methods, dog breeds, and the health status of the dogs. Each alignment was investigated separately, and the results are summarized. Twenty-nine studies were included in this systematic review. According to the studies, in the frontal plane, distal femoral alignments, as well as proximal and distal tibial alignments, corresponded to the severity of the medial patellar luxation. The difference between affected and non-affected dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease was limited to the proximal tibial alignments in the sagittal plane.

The Impact

Relevance. This research is relevant due to ability to help in improving quality of pets life after surgery on the cranial cruciate ligament.Methods. Descriptive (description dynamics recovery various animals), сomparative (comparisons pace recovery various groups of animals applying different metods) methods were used.Results. Applied rehabilitation activities in early postoperative period accelerate recovery, improves muscle tone, keeps joint movements and helps in its stabilization.
