A 5-year-old 6 kg male mongrel (case 1) and a 7-year-old 4.3 kg male yorkshire terrier (case 2) were presented to Chonbuk animal medical center (CAMC). Both animals had non-weight bearing hind limb lameness. Case 1 had complete rupture of cranial cruciate ligament with grade 3 medial patellar luxation. Case 2 had complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture with grade 4 medial patellar luxation. During surgery, in both cases, trochlear block recession was performed followed by CORA based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) and tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT). General soft tissue reconstructions for medial patellar luxation including medial releasing and lateral imbrication were also performed. Postoperatively, both animals demonstrated excellent recovery and regained normal weight bearing of the affected hind limb without any recognizable complication. CBLO followed by TTT can be a curative surgical option without complications in cases of cranial cruciate ligament rupture with high-grade medial patellar luxation in small breed dogs.

A torn anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is the most common serious ligamentous injury to the knee joint. The incidence of ACL tears seems to be increasing, at least partly as a result of the increasing participation of individuals of all ages in high-risk sports. The most commonly used graft source for ACL reconstruction is the autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone graft unit. Despite a good success record. postoperative complications, such as infection, patellar contracture/patellar baja, patellar fracture, rupture of the patellar tendon, graft failure without reinjury, can occur following ACL surgery. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines regarding the key points of the reconstructive procedure in a sequence and how to prevent or minimize the complications that can follow ACL reconstructive surgery. We want this knowledge can help orthopaedic surgeons to understand the reasons for previous and current successes and failures of reconstruction of the ACL, and it can help them to plan the care of patients who have an injury of the ligament.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is mostly damaged in sporting activities. To reconstruct the damaged ACL, a patellar tendon (PT) is often the most preferred graft due to its fast healing and bone integration i.e. bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. Suitability of the PT often depends on the morphometric profile of the tendon. This study reported on the harvestable surface area (SA) of the tendon using a simple tracing method. The PT of 79 adult formalin-fixed cadavers of South Africans of European Ancestry were dissected, and the margins of the PT were traced on a wax paper before the tracings were scanned. The SA, straight proximal width (SPW), curved proximal width (CPW), straight distal width (SDW), curved distal width (CDW) and length of tendon (LOT) from the digitized image of the PT was measured. In addition, the length of the lower limbs was measured to normalize the measurements. The results showed no significant side differences, and the measurements were not sexually dimorphic. A strong correlation was reported for SA vs. LOT, SPW vs. CPW and SDW vs. CDW for both sexes and sides. The presented morphological profile provides additional information on the usability of the graft and with respect to healing and recovery.

A 30 kg, 6-year-old spayed female Samoyed dog was referred with a history of intermittent weight-bearing lameness in her right hindlimb for 3 weeks. The patient hadsurgery to correct a medial patellar luxation in the same limb 3 years prior. Based on the physical examination and radiographic findings, MPL and CCLR of the right hindlimb were diagnosed. Pre-surgical arthroscopy examination was performed, revealing a complete rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament, medial caudal meniscal tears and fibrotic cartilagechanges on the trochlear groove. An arthroscopy-assisted partial meniscectomy was used to repair themedial caudal meniscus. To correct the tibial plateau angle and medial patellar luxation, a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) was performed. A tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT) was performed to realignthe quadriceps mechanism with the trochlear block recession followed by soft tissue reconstruction. The post-surgical recovery was uneventful, and the patient was weight-bearing with normal ambulation on the repaired limb. There were no complications, and the implants were well positioned at the last follow-up. The clinical outcome of the caseindicates that combining TPLO with TTTis a good surgical option for treatingconcurrent CCLR and MPL.

This is a case of the core reamer breakage during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. A 19-year-old man with acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture had reconstruction surgery. During tunneling in the proximal tibia, the core reamer have been cracked open and broken. Rest of the procedure was performed routinely except the tibial sided fixation of bone block which was performed with larger interference screw than usual. The patient followed the accelerated rehabilitation program. The result was satisfactory at 2 years after surgery.

Background: We conducted this study to determine the optimal length of patellar and tibial bone blocks for the modified transtibial (TT) technique in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft. Methods: The current single-center, retrospective study was conducted in a total of 64 patients with an ACL tear who underwent surgery at our medical institution between March 2015 and February 2016. After harvesting the BPTB graft, we measured its length and that of the patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block using the arthroscopic ruler and double-checked measurements using a length gauge. Outcome measures included the length of tibial and femoral tunnels, inter-tunnel distance, length of the BPTB graft, patellar tendon, patellar bone block, and tibial bone block and graft-tunnel length mismatch. The total length of tunnels was defined as the sum of the length of the tibial tunnel, inter-tunnel distance and length of the femoral tunnel. Furthermore, the optimal length of the bone block was calculated as (the total length of tunnels - the length of the patellar tendon) / 2. We analyzed correlations of outcome measures with the height and body mass index of the patients. Results: There were 44 males (68.7%) and 20 females (31.3%) with a mean age of 31.8 years (range, 17 to 65 years). ACL reconstruction was performed on the left knee in 34 patients (53%) and on the right knee in 30 patients (47%). The optimal length of bone block was 21.7 mm (range, 19.5 to 23.5 mm). When the length of femoral tunnel was assumed as 25 mm and 30 mm, the optimal length of bone block was calculated as 19.6 mm (range, 17 to 21.5 mm) and 22.1 mm (range, 19.5 to 24 mm), respectively. On linear regression analysis, patients' height had a significant correlation with the length of tibial tunnel (p = 0.003), inter-tunnel distance (p = 0.014), and length of patellar tendon (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that it would be mandatory to determine the optimal length of tibial tunnel in the modified TT technique for ACL reconstruction using the BPTB graft. Further large-scale, multi-center studies are warranted to establish our results.

전방십자인대 재건수술 술기는 최근 20년간 많은 발전을 이뤘으며 결과가 과거에 비해 크게 향상되었다. 전방십자인대의 해부학적 이해 또한 20년 전과 현재가 다르며 이에 맞추어 수술 방법 또한 변화하고 있다. 이중다발 개념은 여전히 유효하나 리본 형태의 전방십자인대 모양, 직접 섬유, 간접 섬유가 그 개념을 서서히 대체하고 있다. 등장점 개념은 더 이상 존재하지 않으며 단일다발 해부학적 재건, 이중다발 해부학적 재건, 잔류조직 보존술식, 직각터널 술식 등 다양한 수술 방법들이 행해지고 있으며 논문을 통해 검증되고 있다. 이식건의 종류에 있어서도 자가건인 골-슬개건-골, 슬건, 대퇴사두근건, 동종건에 대한 관심이 시간에 따라 변화하고 있으며 이런 변화는 현재 진행형이다.

목적 : 전방 십자 인대 재건술후 슬개-대퇴 관절의 문제중 슬개건의 길이 변화, 슬개-대퇴 관절의 선열의 변화 및 환자의 주관적 증상으로 비교 하였고 슬개건의 침습이 없는 동종 이식술과 슬개건을 침습한 자가 이식술을 비교하여 슬개건의 침습이 슬개-대퇴 관절에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행 받은 환자 중 1년 이상 추시 가능했던 환자 87명을 대상으로 하였으며 자가 골-슬개건-골을 이용해 재건술을 시행한 환자 52예를 제 1군, 동종 골-슬개건-골과 동종 아킬레스건을 이용해 재건술을 시행한 환자 35예를 제 2군으로 하였다. 수술 전, 후 단순 방사선 사진상에서 Blackburne-Peel 방법, 일치각(Congruence angle), 외측 슬개-대퇴 각(Lateral patellofemoral angle), 환자의 주관적 증상에 기초를 두어 결과를 판정하였다. 결과 : 시상면에서 슬개골 위치는 제 1군에서 술전 0.86에서 술후 0.80으로 유의할 만하게 감소하였으며, 제2군에서 술전 0.87에서 술후 0.83로 감소하였지만 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 외측 슬개-대퇴 각은 양군에서 유의할 만한 차이는 없었으며, 일치각은 제 1군에서 술전 $-1.43^{\circ}$에서 술후 $-5.43^{\circ}$로 $4^{\circ}$내측으로 전위되었고 제2군에서 술전 $-1.53^{\circ}$에서 술후 -3.65로 약 $2.12^{\circ}$내측으로 전위되었다. 결론 : 전방 십자 인대 재건술후 슬개-대퇴 관절의 선열은 변하며 이러한 변화는 자가 이식건의 채취, 십자 인대 재건술 자체, 대퇴 사두근 약화등 여러 가지 요소에 의한 것으로 사료된다.
