Case Report

Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy and Cranial Closing Wedge Ostectomy in a Cat With Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Eric A. Hoots, DVM and Steve W. Petersen, DVM, Diplomate ACVS

From the Denver Veterinary Specialists, 3695 Kipling Street, Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033.

A 5-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented for a nonweight-bearing left pelvic-limb lameness. Orthopedic and radiographic examinations revealed a cranial cruciate ligament rupture and deformity of the proximal tibial metaphysis. The deformity of the proximal tibia resulted in an exaggerated tibial plateau angle of approximately 75°. Surgical correction was performed with a combination of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and cranial closing wedge ostectomy. The procedures resulted in an excellent clinical outcome with immediate return to weight bearing in the operated limb and progressive improvement in function over the ensuing 4 months.
