  2. Triple tibial osteotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_tibial_osteotomy

    The triple tibial osteotomy has been developed as a hybrid of two previously available orthopaedic procedures, the tibial tuberosity advancement and the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. The tibial tuberosity advancement neutralises shear force within the stifle by advancing the tibial tuberosity until the tibial plateau is at right angles to ...

  3. Tibial tuberosity advancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_tuberosity_advancement

    Tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) is an orthopedic procedure to repair deficient cranial cruciate ligaments in dogs. It has also been used in cats. This procedure was developed by Dr. Slobodan Tepic and Professor Pierre Montavon at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zurich, in Zurich, Switzerland beginning in the late 1990s.

  4. Tuberosity of the tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberosity_of_the_tibia

    Tibial tuberosity fractures are infrequent fractures, most common in adolescents. In running and jumping movements, extreme contraction of the knee extensors can result in avulsion fractures of the tuberosity apophysis. [3] A cast is all that is required if the fragment is not displaced from its normal position on the tibia. However, if the ...

  5. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

    Similar calcification and ossification may be seen at peripheral entheseal sites, including the shoulder, iliac crest, ischial tuberosity, trochanters of the hip, tibial tuberosities, patellae, and bones of the hands and/or feet. [6] DISH can be a complicating factor when suffering from trauma involving the spine.

  6. Tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial-plateau-leveling...

    In a TPLO procedure, the tibial plateau, the portion of the tibia adjoining the stifle, is cut and rotated so that its slope changes to approximately 5 degrees from the horizontal plane. [4] This prevents the femur from sliding down the slope of the tibial plateau when the dog puts weight on its knee. This surgery generally results in faster ...

  7. Avulsion fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avulsion_fracture

    X-ray of a 15-year-old male, showing an older avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity. A tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture is an incomplete or complete separation of the tibial tuberosity from the tibia. This occurs as a result of a violent contraction of the quadriceps muscles, most often as a result of a high-power jump. Incomplete ...

  8. Posterior cruciate ligament injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_cruciate...

    The PCL is located within the knee joint where it stabilizes the articulating bones, particularly the femur and the tibia, during movement.It originates from the lateral edge of the medial femoral condyle and the roof of the intercondyle notch [5] then stretches, at a posterior and lateral angle, toward the posterior of the tibia just below its articular surface.

  9. Tightrope CCL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tightrope_CCL

    The Tightrope CCL technique utilizes a very strong suture material called FiberTape and isometric placement of small bone tunnels to provide bone-to-bone fixation while not causing the trauma of cutting through the bone of the tibia like a TPLO - tibial plateau leveling osteotomy or TTA - Tibial tuberosity advancement procedure. The objective ...
