Özet
Objectives: The first aim of this study was to examine whether or not variations concerning the conformational characteristics of the proximal surface of the tibial plateau exist among six different dog breeds as well as within the same breed. The second aim of this study was to determine the coordinates of the cruciate ligaments. Methods: One hundred and four tibias of 52 mature dogs from six different breeds were used. Photographs of the proximal surface of tibial plateau were taken, and measurements for the length, width and area of the tibial plateau, and the lateral and medial condyles were taken. In addition, the intercondylar width, height of Gerdy's tubercle, popliteal notch depth, and extensor groove depth were measured and recorded. The quotients from these measurements were calculated and compared amongst the dog breeds. The coordinates of the cruciate ligaments, according to the centre of tibial plateau, were also determined. Results: Based on the calculated quotients, variations in the geometry of the tibial plateau geometry were common among the breeds. Within the same breed, on the other hand, length and width measurements of the tibial plateau were the least variable parameters among the other parameters examined. The cranial cruciate ligament was located in front of the surface centre of tibial plateau in all breeds. The position of cranial cruciate ligament was more variable in the craniocaudal direction than that observed in the mediolateral direction; this was the exact opposite of caudal cruciate ligament. Clinical significance: The inter-breed variations of the quotients determined in the present study may facilitate attempts aimed to assess the risk factors of stifle joint injury and to design total knee prostheses.
