ABSTRACT

Cranial cruciate ligament is the main responsible for knee stability by preventing cranial tibial displacement regarding the femur. Deficiency in this ligament (CCLD) may cause subluxation of the tibia and dysfunction of the pelvic member due to overloading. Tibial osteotomies are among the more current surgical techniques for treating CCLD in dogs and they proportionate the dynamic stability by means of modifying bone geometry and the distribution of forces acting on the articulation. The objective of this work is to describe the use of the allogeneic cortical bone graft conserved in glycerin as a spacer on the tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) for treating the CCLD. In order to do that, 34 dogs submitted to TTA surgery correction were evaluated, being 23 males (67.35%) and 11 females (32.35%). Surgical procedures happened from May 2011 to October 2015. Regarding the surgical procedure after osteotomy of the tibial tuberosity, a disk of allogeneic cortical disk, sawn wedge-hapsed, conserved in glycerin, proportions of 2x1mm was applied as spacer, enabling TTA. Advancements from 3 to 12 mm were executed, depending on the need of the patient. For animals with patella dislocation, trochleoplasty and TTA were executed in order to correct the deviation. The mean ± SD age of animals was 6.67±3.58 and weight was 15.16±12.97 kg. Mongrel dogs, Poodles and Yorkshire terriers were the most affected ones. From the 36 evaluated knees, 11 (30.56%) were associated with some traumatic process and in 25 (69.44%) there was no relation with previous trauma. From those wounds, 20 (55.56%) happened in the right limb and 16 (44.44%) in the left limb and two animals had CCLD bilaterally. Animals had continuous support, discreet drawer movement and negative tibial compression 15 days after surgery. At 30 days, 26 cases (72.22%) had firm support (FS); at 45 days, 24 cases (66 test at 7 and 67%) had FS and eight cases (22.22%) without claudication (WC). During subsequent radiographic evaluations the progressive incorporation of the graft and osteotomy union were observed. In this study, most of the diagnosed CCLD occurred in males diverging from results obtained by other authors that found greater frequency in females. Support without claudication it was observed in most of the cases of implants at 60 days. We concluded that the conserved allogeneic cortical bone graft was able to promote bone union in TTA of dogs with CCLD. None of the animals had signs of contamination, infection of the surgical wound or rejection related with the presence of the graft, demonstrated by the complete graft-bone incorporation observed early at 45 days in some animals. The glycerin was a good conservation medium for those fragments intended for grafting because, besides being of low cost, it kept bone fragments free of contamination, reducing antigenicity and preserving the functions of osteoinduction and osteoconduction. The possibility of molding the graft to the animal need is a characteristic favorable to executing the modified technique that could be molded according to the size of the animal, allowing perfect adaptation to the osteotomized local in different breeds. Intercurrences commonly observed in TTA with patellar dislocation, meniscal lesions, tibial crest fracture and displacement were not found in the animals of this study, probably due to the better distribution of forces between the pass screw in TT and the TTA plate confirming that it has good adaptation to the technique conferring to the modified TTA advantages regarding the conventional TTA.(AU)


O ligamento cruzado cranial é o principal responsável pela estabilidade do joelho, impedindo o deslocamento da tíbia cranial em relação ao fêmur. A deficiência neste ligamento (CCLD) pode causar subluxação da tíbia e disfunção do membro pélvico devido à sobrecarga. As osteotomias tibiais estão entre as técnicas cirúrgicas mais atuais para o tratamento de CCLD em cães e proporcionam a estabilidade dinâmica por meio da modificação da geometria óssea da distribuição das forças que atuam sobre a articulação. O objetivo desse estudo é descrever o uso do enxerto ósseo cortical alogênico conservado em glicerina como espaçador no avanço da tuberosidade tibial (TTA) para o tratamento do CCLD. Para isso, 34 cães submetidos à cirurgia de TTA foram avaliados, sendo 23 machos (67,35%) e 11 fêmeas (32,35%). Os procedimentos curúrgicos aconteceram entre maio de 2011 e outubro de 2015. Com relação ao procedimento cirúrgico após a osteotomia da tuberosidade tibial, um disco alogênico cortical, em forma de cunha serrada, conservado em glicerina com proporções de 2 x 1mm foi aplicado como espaçador possibilitando a TTA. Avanços de 3 a 12mm foram executados, dependendo da necessidade do paciente. Para animais com luxação da patela, realizou-se a trocleoplastia e a TTA para a correção do desvio. A idade média dos animais foi de 6,67±3,58 anos e pesos médios de 15,16±12,97kg. Cães sem raça definida, Poodles e Yorkshire Terriers foram os mais afetados. Dos 36 joelhos avaliados, 11 (30,56%) foram associados a algum processo traumático e em 25 (69,44%) não havia nenhuma relação com um trauma prévio. Dos ferimentos, 20 (55,56%) aconteceram no membro direito e 16 (44,44%) no esquerdo, sendo que dois animais apresentavam CCLD bilateralmente. Os animais tiveram suporte contínuo, discreto movimento de gaveta e compressão tibial negativa 15 dias após a cirurgia. Aos 30 dias, 26 casos tinham suporte firme (FS); aos 45 dias, 24 casos tinham FS e oito casos sem claudicação (WC). Durante avaliações radiográficas subsequentes, observou-se a incorporação progressiva da união do enxerto e da osteotomia. Neste estudo, a maior parte do CCLD diagnosticado ocorreu em machos, divergindo dos resultados obtidos por outros autores que encontraram maior frequência em fêmeas. Suporte sem claudicação foi observado na maioria dos casos de implantes aos 60 dias. Foi concluído que o enxerto ósseo cortical alogênico conservado foi capaz de promover a união óssea na TTA de cães com CCLD. Nenhum dos animais apresentou sinais de contaminação, infecção da ferida cirúrgica ou rejeição relacionada à presença do enxerto, demonstrada pela incorporação completa do enxerto ósseo observada precocemente aos 45 dias em alguns animais. A glicerina foi um bom meio de conservação para os fragmentos destinados à enxertia porque, além do menor custo, manteve os fragmentos ósseos livres de contaminação, reduzindo a antigenicidade e preservando as funções de osteoindução e osteocondução. A possibilidade de moldagem do enxerto à necessidade do animal é uma característica favorável à execução da técnica modificada que pode ser moldada de acordo com o tamanho do animal, possibilitando perfeita adaptação ao local osteotomizado em diferentes raças. Intercorrências comumente observadas na TTA com luxação patelar, lesões meniscais, fratura da crista tibial e deslocamento não foram encontradas nos animais deste estudo, provavelmente devido à melhor distribuição de forças entre a passagem do parafuso no TT e a placa do TTA, confirmando que tem boa adaptação à técnica conferindo às vantagens da TTA modificada em relação à TTA convencional.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho correlacionou o tempo de ruptura do ligamento cruzado cranial (RLCCr) à lesão em menisco medial e ao tipo de lesão observada em cães tratados por estabilização dinâmica (osteotomias) ou estática (sutura fabelo-tibial). Este estudo retrospectivo avaliou os registros de 104 cães (117 joelhos). As osteotomias foram realizadas em 98 articulações, a sutura fabelo-tibial em 15 joelhos e, em 4 joelhos, foi realizada apenas artrotomia exploratória. A média de idade foi 4,5 anos, 41% dos cães eram machos e 59%, fêmeas e a média da massa corporal foi 32,7kg. Os tipos de lesão do menisco medial observados foram: tipo 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 e associações dos tipos 1-4, 1-6 e 1-7. O tipo 1 foi o mais prevalente, sendo responsável por 32,5% dos casos. Não foram encontradas correlações entre a presença ou não de lesão de menisco medial e o tempo de ocorrência da RLCCr e entre o tipo de lesão de menisco medial e o tempo de RLCCr.


The study correlated the time of the cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) with medial meniscal tears and the type of injury seen in dogs treated with dynamic stabilization (osteotomies) or static (fabellotibial suture). This retrospective study evaluated the records of 104 dogs (117 stifles). The osteotomies were performed in 98 stifles, fabellotibial suture in 15 stifles and exploratory arthrotomy was perform in 4 stifles. The average age was of 4.5 years, 41% of the dogs were male and 59% female and the mean body mass was of 32.7kg. The medial meniscal tears observed were: type1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and associations of types1-4, 1-6 and 1-7. Type 1 was the most prevalent, accounting for 32.5%of cases. No correlation was found between the presence or absence of medial meniscus injury and the time of occurrence of CCLR and between the type of medial meniscal tears and CCLR time.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Tyrosinase is the critical enzyme in melanin synthesis. DOPA staining has been used as a standard assay for detecting tyrosinase activity, but it exhibits several limitations. Tyramide based tyrosinase assay (TTA) is a simple and sensitive tyrosinase detecting method. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the stainability of pigmentary disorders using TTA and DOPA staining. METHODS: The subjects were composed of hyperpigmentary disorders (n=10), hypopigmentary disorders (n=7), and alopecia areata (n=7). The colocalization study of TTA and Mitf using immunofluorescence was performed on alopecia areata. DOPA staining was performed on all tissues to compare with TTA immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: TTA positive cells were correlated with Mitf positive cells in the tissue of alopecia areata. In hyperpigmentary disoders, TTA was stronger than DOPA staining. TTA and DOPA staining didn't observe the positive cells in lesion of vitiligo and piebaldism, but both showed the positive cells in normal skin. TTA staining showed positive cells in the transitional lesion of vitiligo but, DOPA staining did not. In alopecia areata, TTA positive cells were observed, but DOPA staining did not. CONCLUSION: TTA is more sensitive than DOPA staining in pigmentary disorders for detecting tyrosinase activity.
