Cranial cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs
pelvic limb, being the main reason of lameness in this species and the biggest cause
of degenerative joint disease of the stifle. It can be treated conservatively or surgically,
with several methods available to correct this condition. The selection of the treatment
method must be based on the patient's individual characteristics, considering several
factors such as age, weight, size and other associated comorbidities. This article aims
to report a case of a beagle dog with cranial cruciate ligament rupture associated with
mitral valve insufficiency, which had no recommendation for surgical intervention, and
conservative treatment through physiotherapy was chosen. As the physiotherapy
sessions progressed, it was possible to notice a reduction in the clinical signs of the
condition, demonstrating the efficiency of the conservative method in the treatment of
cranial cruciate ligament rupture. |
