CRANIAL CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURIES IN DOGS AND CATS – INTRA ARTICULAR RECONSTRUCTION WITH UHMWPE MEDICAL GRADE FREE FIBERS SYNTHETIC IMPLANT – RESULTS
The CrCL intra artiular reconstruction with the Z-lig implant gave good to excellent results in 97% of cases.
The method restores stability of the stifle and does not create any irreversible situation in case of complication. Only bony tunnels are drilled. The fast recovery and the easy post-operative period are the two major advantages for the owners.
Intra-articular Z-lig implant restores feline stifle stability in an ex vivo cruciate insufficiency model – Université de Copenhague – Mars 2023
Objective : To determine stifle joint stability after intra-articular reconstruction (IAR) of the transected cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) using an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene graft (Z-Lig) in a novel limb press model, and to report simulated muscle force ratios before and aer repair.
The Z-lig, a unique implant
Le Z-lig est un ligament synthétique très spécifique, notamment par: 1 – Ses propriétés mécaniques : L’architecture des “fibres libres” est la plus adaptée aux contraintes mécaniques qui existent dans le grasset. En effet, elles ont une résistance à la très largement supérieure à toutes les autres structures synthétiques existantes. Après des mouvements combinés de […]
