OBJECTIVES: To describe the complications, short and long-term outcome and owner satisfaction of dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture treated with a recently described new osteotomy for the modified Maquet technique (N-MMT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records and radiographs of 82 dogs (84 stifles) were reviewed. Details regarding short-term outcome and complications were recorded from the medical records. Long-term follow-up information was obtained by telephone interview. Historical data and complications were statistically analysed. RESULTS: Major complications occurred in 34/84 stifles. Intra-operative complications occurred in 26/84 stifles, all of which were fissures or fractures of the cortical hinge. Twenty-one of these fractures or fissures were repaired with a figure-of-eight wire. The second most common major complication was late meniscal tears in 3/84 stifles. One dog sustained a complete tibial fracture. Non-displaced fracture of the cortical hinge was the most common postoperative minor complication, which occurred in 5/84 stifles. The median preoperative lameness score was 3 out of 6. Final in-hospital re-evaluation of limb function was available in 58 dogs. The median lameness score at that time was 0 out of 6. Development of osteotomy related complications was not associated with a significant change in the postoperative lameness score. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Subjectively assessed clinical outcome with the N-MMT was good to excellent in this cohort of dogs. However, a high rate of intra- and postoperative complications of the N-MMT procedure was also present in these dogs. [less ▲]

Long bone fracture constitutes a common reason for medical consultation within veterinary orthopaedic services. Owing to the specificities of the veterinary field, post-operative complications after a fracture osteosynthesis are usually more numerous than those in human medicine, and therefore, there is a need to better understand which orthopaedic device(s) should be preferred for a given fracture. The interest of subjectspecific finite element (FE) simulations in the understanding of long bone mechanics has been largely emphasised (Helgason et al. 2008; Schileo et al. 2008). However, available studies are often limited by the many assumptions made throughout the procedure of creating a validated subject-specific FE model of a long bone, including geometry acquisition and modelling, assignment of realistic material properties and accurate validation of FE results based on ex vivo experiments. Particularly, fracture prediction has often been limited to the fracture onset prediction based on arbitrary criteria. Based on these previous studies, the objective of the present contribution is to propose and compare different subject-specific FE models of long bones that could accurately predict long bone response and failure.
