Technique of Tibial Tuberosity Transposition and Advancement (TTTA) With Use of TTA-Maquet Cage-Only in Dog

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (tta) for Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease

Mechanical testing of a new osteotomy design for tibial tuberosity advancement using the Modified Maquet Technique.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the mechanical properties of the distal cortical hinge associated with a new osteotomy design for the Modified Maquet Technique (MMT). STUDY DESIGN Ex vivo mechanical study. METHODS The osteotomy was started 10 mm caudal to the tibial tuberosity and extended over 150% of the length of the tibial crest; it was slightly curved distally to stay at a distance of 2 to 4 mm...

Maquet and TTA technique combination for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dog.

Dear Editor-in-Chief, Many techniques have been described for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs. The most commonly used of the corrective osteotomies are: tibial plateau levelling osteotomy, tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA), and more recently the Maquet technique has been described (1). Complications from TTA can be divided into major and minor complications. Major c...

Tibial tuberosity transposition-advancement for treatment of medial patellar luxation and concomitant cranial cruciate ligament disease in the dog

Objective: To report surgical technique, morphometric effects and clinical outcomes for tibial tuberosity transposition-advancement (TTTA), sulcoplasty and para-patellar fascial imbrication for management of concomitant medial patellar luxation (MPL) and cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease in 32 dogs. Study design: Case series. Methods: A previous technique for tibial tuberosity advancement...

Tibial tuberosity advancement in 65 canine stifles.

The tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) procedure was developed to treat dogs with cranial cruciate ligament deficient stifles. A retrospective, descriptive study was performed on 57 dogs that underwent unilateral or bilateral TTA. Medical records were reviewed and pre-, postoperative and follow-up radiographs were evaluated for patellar ligament-tibial plateau angle (alpha), distance of the ti...
