Concurrent caudal cruciate and medial collateral ligament repair using a single Mini TightRope (Arthrex) fixation in a cat
This is the first case report of the use of bone tunnels and a Mini TightRope implant to address complete medial collateral and caudal cruciate ligament rupture and stabilise the stifle in a cat. This novel technique allowed for stabilisation without the need for external coaptation, enabling an early return to function.
