Comparison of long-term results of Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy and Modified Maquet Procedure in canine anterior cruciate ligament disease![](https://www.thieme-connect.de/media/10.1055-s-00034911/202206/lookinside/thumbnails/10-1055-a-1966-1936-1.jpg)
Zusammenfassung
Gegenstand und Ziel Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP) mit der Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) anhand von Langzeitkontrollen über ein Jahr (∅ 3,15 Jahre) mittels klinischer Untersuchung, röntgenologischer Beurteilung der Arthroseprogression und Ganganalyse durch Laufbanduntersuchung zu vergleichen. Zusätzliches Ziel ist es, den Einfluss der Erfahrung der Chirurgen bei der TPLO-Technik zu überprüfen.
Material und Methoden Bei dieser klinischen Studie wurden 67 Kniegelenke von 50 Hunden verschiedener Rassen zwischen 20 und 40 Kilogramm Körpergewicht einbezogen, die mittels TPLO beziehungsweise MMP (n = 19) nach Ruptur des vorderen Kreuzbandes operiert wurden. Die TPLO-Gruppe unterteilte sich in eine Gruppe, welche von 2 erfahrenen Chirurgen (TPLO1, n = 25) operiert wurde und eine zweite Gruppe, die von mehreren Chirurgen unterschiedlicher Erfahrung (TPLO2, n = 23) versorgt wurden. Die Hunde wurden nach mindestens über einem Jahr (3,15 ± 1,21 Jahre) postoperativ orthopädisch, röntgenologisch und ganganalytisch uni- und bilateral getrennt untersucht. Zusätzlich wurden die Daten der Ganganalyse mit einer orthopädisch gesunden Kontrollgruppe verglichen.
Ergebnisse Bei der orthopädischen Untersuchung wurden keine signifikanten und klinisch relevanten Unterschiede zwischen den 3 Gruppen festgestellt.
Die Arthroseprogression zeigte in allen 3 OP-Gruppen ähnliche Werte, wobei die der TPLO2-Gruppe durchschnittlich pro Jahr gerechnet signifikant etwas geringer war als die der TPLO1- und der MMP-Gruppe.
Die ganganalytische Untersuchung im Schritt konnte vor allem im Vergleich mit der gesunden Kontrollgruppe signifikante Unterschiede bei bilateralen Rupturen für die Peak Vertical Force und den Vertical Impulse zeigen. Die Standphasendauer wies keine signifikanten Unterschiede auf. Im Trab konnten keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den 3 OP-Gruppen festgestellt werden.
Schlussfolgerung Beide Operationstechniken erzielten in den 3 Gruppen bei den Langzeitkontrollen gute klinische, radiologische und ganganalytische Ergebnisse auch im Vergleich mit einer gesunden Kontrollgruppe.
Klinische Relevanz Die MMP kann als schnell durchführbare Alternative zur etablierten TPLO mit ebenfalls guten Ergebnissen beim Hund angesehen werden. Die Erfahrung des Chirurgen scheint keinen Einfluss auf das Ergebnis zu haben.
Abstract
Objective This study aims to compare the Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP) with the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) using long-term follow-up examinations over the period of more than one year (∅ 3,15 years) by clinical examination, radiographic assessment of osteoarthritis progression, and gait analysis by treadmill examination. Additional aim is to review the influence of surgeons’ experience in TPLO technique.
Material and methods This clinical study included 67 stifle joints of 50 dogs of different breeds between 20 and 40 kilograms body weight that were treated by TPLO (n = 48) or MMP (n = 19) following the rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. The TPLO group was further divided into a group operated by two experienced surgeons (TPLO1, n = 25) and a second group operated by several surgeons with different experience (TPLO2, n = 23). Following a post-operative time period of more than one year in the least (mean, 3.15 ± 1.21 years) orthopedic and radiographic examinations as well as separate unilateral and bilateral gait analyses were conducted. In addition, gait analysis data were compared with an orthopedically healthy control group.
Results No significant and clinically relevant differences were observed between the 3 groups in the results of their orthopedic examination.
Osteoarthritis progression showed similar values in all 3 surgical groups. On average per year this feature was slightly but statistically significantly lower in the TPLO2 group in comparison to the TPLO1 and MMP groups.
Gait analysis during walking exhibited significant differences in bilateral ruptures at the Peak Vertical Force and the Vertical Impulse, especially when compared to the healthy control group. Stance phase duration did not show any significant differences. At trot, no significant differences were found between the 3 surgical groups.
Conclusion Both surgical techniques achieved good clinical, radiological, and gait analysis results in the 3 groups at long-term follow-up, even when compared with a healthy control group.
Clinical relevance MMP can be considered a rapid feasible alternative to the established TPLO method also bearing satisfactory results in dogs. The degree of the surgeon’s experience does not seem to influence the outcome.
