Correlation between the tibial plateau angle and occurrence of medial meniscal tears in dogs with complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture
A relationship was found to exist between MMT and TPA with a lower prevalence of MMT in dogs with an excessive TPA. Chronic lameness was also associated with a lower prevalence of MMT regardless of TPA degree. In dogs with complete CCL tears, excessive TPA and chronic lameness were found to be statistically significant in relation to fewer MMT.
