Redolfi et al: Complications and Long-Term Outcomes after Combined Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy and Tibial Tuberosity Transposition for Treatment of Concurrent Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture and Grade III or IV Medial Patellar Luxation
Veterinary and Comparative Orthopedics and Traumatology 1, 2024

🔍 Key Findings Summary

• Study of 24 stifles in 22 dogs with concurrent CCLR and grade III–IV MPL treated via TPLO-TTT
• Major complications: 4/24 (3 surgical site infections, 1 MPL reluxation); minor complications: 5/24
• Long-term follow-up (median 27 months): 21/22 dogs sound, 23/24 stifles resolved
• Patellar ligament thickening observed post-op in 4 cases, resolved with rehab
• The only case of MPL reluxation involved untreated tibial torsion, suggesting case selection is critical
