Combined injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a common injury pattern and accounts for 20% of all ligamentous knee injuries. Despite advancements in surgical technique, there is no up-to-date consensus regarding the superiority of nonoperative versus operative management in higher-grade MCL tears of combined ACL-MCL injuries.   In conclusion, reconstruction of combined injury in a delayed fashion facilitates return of range of motion and may allow time for low-grade MCL tears to heal. If residual valgus or anteromedial rotatory laxity remains after a period of rehabilitation, then concomitant surgical management of ACL and MCL injuries is warranted. Avulsion MCL injuries and Stener-type lesions may benefit from early repair techniques.     Click here to read the article.

Located in the knee, cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries are the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. Yet there is little consistency or agreement about how to manage this condition. It goes well beyond surgery vs. no surgery.  Pet parents angst about what to do to help there dog's knee pain and function, then often second guess themselves once they decide. Rest assured that there is a multitude of options to choose from and there is no one right - or wrong - answer.  Along with describing the CCL's function and mechanism of injury, Christin Finn DVM, CVA, CVSMT, CCRT, discusses that treatment is often multifaceted and a CCL injury is not an emergency. So, the good news is that you've got time to explore viable alternatives that are right for YOU and YOUR PET.  For more information about cruciate ligaments and other topics, go to finndvm.com.You may contact Dr. Finn directly at office@finndvm.com.Support the showDisclaimerFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.MedcoVet (show sponsor) - the next generation in laser therapy by putting healing in the hands of the pet owner!

Hello! This bit is probably only of interest to vets and vet nurses or those with a particular interest in cranial cruciate ligament surgery techniques. There are a handful of different surgical techniques to repair a ruptured cruciate ligament, which is a pretty good indication that there's no one perfect method! Each vet will choose which technique is best on a case by case basis. I asked Karen which was her favourite. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-underdog-podcast/message

BRIAN CRAWFORD went from playing Football Manager the game to – well – being a football manager. The Larkhall Thistle boss will never forget the chance he got to play in the juniors at 17. And that's why he'll never shy away from giving youth a chance. Brian tells us about life at the oldest continuous club which started out life in the juniors. Then we look back at his own goal-laden playing career, when he was the talk of the game. His strikes for the likes of Carluke and Cumbernauld eventually saw him step up to the seniors with Clyde. But despite being their top striker at Christmas he was still on the bench. We hear why scoring a winner for Stranraer one night saw him lose his job the next day. And how refusing to be subbed before a corner was taken led to him staring at a year out of the game. Plus there's Roache's Roundup and Mark Mackay's Best of the West.

Most veterinary surgeons and nurses working with small animals will have experience in treating canine cruciate ligament ruptures. However, there is not a strong evidence base to know which surgical techniques have the best outcome.  The new Canine Cruciate Registry (CCR) is RCVS Knowledge's answer to this knowledge gap in veterinary care. In this podcast, hear Mark Morton, Canine Cruciate Registry Clinical Lead, talk to Pam Mosedale about the registry, why it's important, and why we need as many vets as possible to get involved.  Sign up for the virtual launch event on 28th July now.

In the second installation of the Physiotutors podcast, we talk about ACL rehabilitation with one of the leading physiotherapists in the field of ACL rehab - Bart Dingenen. We discuss how his research has helped to develop the post-op outcomes of his patients. In addition we touch on what he believes are areas that can be frequently overlooked for patients during their ACL recovery by therapists. As well as this, we also discuss external cueing and the impact this can have. 

In this episode of Complete Football Health Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Dustin Grooms to discuss the role that the brain and nervous system play in lower extremity injuries, particularly in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. I have also written a blog post on this topic which you can read by clicking on the link below:   https://www.nicolesurdykaphysio.com/2019/09/16/neuroplasticity-following-anterior-cruciate-ligament-reconstruction/   Dustin Grooms, PhD, ATC, CSCS, is an Associate Professor in the Division of Athletic Training in the School of Applied Health Sciences and Wellness at Ohio University.

Background: Adequate soft tissue balancing is a key factor for a successful result after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the primary restraint to posterior translation of the tibia after cruciate retaining TKA and is also responsible for the amount of joint compression. However, it is complex to quantify the amount of ligament release with its effects on load bearing and kinematics in TKA and limited both in vivo and in vitro. The goal of this study was to create a dynamic and deformable finite element model of a full leg and analyze a stepwise release of the PCL regarding knee kinematics, pressure distribution and ligament stresses. Methods: A dynamic finite element model was developed in Ansys V14.0 based on boundary conditions of an existing knee rig. A cruciate retraining knee prosthesis was virtually implanted. Ligament and muscle structures were simulated with modified spring elements. Linear elastic materials were defined for femoral component, inlay and patella cartilage. A restart algorithm was developed and implemented into the finite element simulation to hold the ground reaction force constant by adapting quadriceps force. After simulating the unreleased PCL model, two models were developed and calculated with the same boundary conditions with a 50% and 75% release of the PCL stiffness. Results: From the beginning of the simulation to approximately 35 degrees of flexion, tibia moves posterior related to the femur and with higher flexion anteriorly. Anterior translation of the tibia ranged from 5.8 mm for unreleased PCL to 3.7 mm for 75% PCL release (4.9 mm 50% release). A decrease of maximum von Mises equivalent stress on the inlay was given with PCL release, especially in higher flexion angles from 11.1 MPa for unreleased PCL to 8.9 MPa for 50% release of the PCL and 7.8 MPa for 75% release. Conclusions: Our study showed that dynamic FEM is an effective method for simulation of PCL balancing in knee arthroplasty. A tight PCL led in silico to more anterior tibia translation, a higher collateral ligament and inlay stress, while retropatellar pressure remained unchanged. Surgeons may take these results in vivo into account.

In this podcast we hear from Dr. Jimi Cook, a veterinarian, Diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and the American College for Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Director of the Comparative Orthopedic Laboratory at the University of Missouri.  Dr. Cook discusses Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease in dogs and how both biology and biomechanics play a part in this disease.   This podcast was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Kenneth A. Scott Charitable Trust, a KeyBank Trust.

In this podcast we bring you and interview with Dr. Max Rothschild, distinguished professor of agriculture and life sciences and director of the center for integrated animal genomics at the Iowa state University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Funded by the AKC Canine Health Foundation primarily for his research in cryptorchidism, Dr. Rothschild’s areas of research interest are gene mapping, reproduction and immunogenetics of swine, new statistical methods to evaluate animals and gene identification in dogs. Dr. Rothschild helps us understand what cryptorchidism is and discusses the health concerns associated with the condition and the developments in his research to find the genetic cause. Furthermore, Dr. Rothschild is doing genetic research on Cranial Cruciate Ligament disease.  He discusses the condition and the status of the research.
