No full text"\"To determine prevalences of DOD and joints more affected, by the detection of radiographic signs, in two. groups of young horses, bred in different breeding conditions: Belgium and Sardinia.. Two groups of horses were considered. The belgian group, 676 stallions, aged 3.27 ± 2.04 years, weighting. 530 ± 41.09 kg, presented for admission to the \"Royal Belgian Sports Horse Society\". The sardinian group,. 24 horses, aged 3.75 ± 1.35 years, weighting 420 ± 40.5 Kg, presented for pre purchase examinations. In the. belgian group, official report of the lectures was established by agreement between two ECVDI radiologists.. In the sardinian group, final report was established by agreement between the veterinary practitioner and. an ECVDI radiologist. Radiographic images were recognised according to the classification described by. Denoix and were assigned a Radiographic Score (RS) of severity, where Abnormal Radiographic Images (ARI) had RS 2, 4 or 8, while Suspected Radiographic Images (SRI), had always RS 1 (1).. By Z‐test (P<0.05), for each joint in both groups of horses, prevalence of ARI and SRI, as well as prevalence. of the most detected DOD and RS were determined.. In the front foot, ARI plus SRI were found in 77.7% of the belgian group with RS 0.6 and in 95.8% of the. sardinian group with RS 1.2. Synovial distension of the dorsal recess of the distal interphalangeal joint was. found in 45% of the belgian group and in the 66% of the sardinian group.. In the fetlock, ARI plus SRI were detected in 51.4% of belgian group with RS 1.3 and in 83% of sardinian. group with RS 2.4. The most represented lesions were the irregularity of the proximal border of the sagittal. ridge of the McIII and MtIII in belgian group (16.1%) and remodeling of the proximal border of proximal. phalanx in sardinian group (37.5%).. In the hock, both in belgian and in sardinian group, only SRI were found, with prevalence of 22.3 in the first. and 8.3 in the second group, always with RS 1. Bony spur at the dorsoproximal margin of the MtIII was. detected in 8% of the belgian group while it was absent in the sardinian group.. At the stifle, only ARI were found in the belgian group, with prevalence of 8.4% and RS 5.6, while none ARI but only SRI were found in the sardinian group (12.5%) with RS 1.7. Osteochondrosis at the femoral. trochlear ridges without fragments was the lesion most detected in the belgian group (5%), while flattening. at the femoral trochlear ridges was detected in the sardinian group (12.5 %).. Higher prevalence of DOD at hock and stifle in the belgian group agreeds with literature (2,3) and it correlates with the greater weight of the horses of the belgian group. On the contrary, sardinian horses are. less affected by degenerative lesions, but more affected by lesions of traumatic origin at the front foot.\"
Evaluation of bone plug and soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament graft fixation over time using transverse femoral fixation in a sheep model
No full textPurpose: To evaluate the mechanical role of bone–anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft junction
in comparison with primary fixation of the graft. Type of Study: Ex vivo controlled biomechanical
study. Methods: An ACL reconstruction was performed on 2 groups of 40 sheep each. The ACL
graft was patellar tendon in group 1, and free tendon in group 2. Load-to-failure tests were performed
at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups: In subgroup A the femoral fixation
devices were removed before testing and in subgroup B they were left in place. Results: At 1 month,
structural properties of subgroup 2A were significantly lower than other subgroups. Until the third
month, structural properties of each subgroup were significantly lower than normal ACL. Grafts
always failed at midsubstance, except for subgroup 2A at 1 month, which pulled out of the femoral
tunnel. Conclusions: Bone plug incorporation was stronger than graft strength at 1 month whereas
soft tissue tendon incorporation was not stronger than graft until 2 months. At 3 months, both groups
failed at approximately 30% of the native ACL strength, and at 6 months, both groups were nearly
equal in terms of load to failure and stiffness. Clincial Relevance: High fixation strength and
stiffness of ACL graft does not allow earlier return to sports activities
