| description | <b>Aim:</b> It is aimed to compare clinical, radiological and computed tomography
findings of knee joint lesions in terms of diagnosis. In addition,
early diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament defects were assessed
for effectiveness of computed tomography.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods: </b>12 medium / large dogs with different breed,
sex, age and breed were used as study materials. After the clinical
examinations, Hudson Visual Analogue Scale and Canine Brief Pain
Inventory were performed. In dogs, a force platform was used to measure
unequal weight distribution in the extremities. Three positions of
radiographic examination (standing cranio-caudal (CrCa), medio-lateral
(ML), tibial compression mediolateral (ML)) was performed. For
this purpose, mobile x-ray machine and fixed x-ray equipment were
used. Computed tomography was used for tomographic examinations.
Statistical analysis of the obtained data was expressed as %. Walking,
pain and force platform results of arithemtic averages were used.<p>
<b>Results:</b> The problematic extremity was determined for according to
the results of clinical examination and force platform of the cases. In
some cases, pressure over the ligamentum collaterale mediale level
showed that joint effusion on the extremity. Cranial displacement of
tuberositas tibia was noted with the tibial compression test. Condylus
medialis and lateral femoris were markedly narrowed with radiographically,
art. genu of two cases were detected osteophytic production.
In most of the cases, cranial rotation of the tibia was seen. Osteophyte
production were identified in 1 case with computed tomographic examination.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Especially for the identification of osteophytic production,
cranial displacement of tuberosity tibia, diagnosis of patellar luxation
in in Art. genu could be diagnosed by x-ray. Diagnosis of patellar
luxation and cranial displacement of tibia is also observed with CT
scan directly. But, CT is useful in revealed for knee joint problems. However,
the taking of the sections, the modernization of the instrument
should always affects the visuality. |
