Meet Alfred and his parents. Alfred is a male neutered 5YO Maltese x. They recently visited our hospital to say hello and wanted to show how good Alfred is now. Alfred was one of the earliest patients of Cedar Mountain Vet Referral. We opened our hospital door to public on 5th of January 2026. He presented to us on 12th of January for bilateral medial patellar luxation (MPL). Time flies so quickly. It has been already 6 months since we opened. Alfred was lame in the right pelvic limb. His MPL was worse on the right stifle, because his cranial cruciate ligament was ruptured.
Patella is the largest sesamoid bone and has an important function as a pulley mechanism of a stifle. Patella is one of important stabilizers of the stifle. Several research papers have indicated that a strain increases in the cranial cruciate ligament while the patella is luxating, although it is still controversial if MPL is directly associated with cranial cruciate ligament disease/rupture. MPL is considered developmental disease (but also may be congenital and hereditary) We often see bilateral diseases without clinical signs in elderly patients. It is widely accepted that caudally tilted tibial plateau is the risk of cranial cruciate ligament degeneration and subsequently rupture in dogs (cranial cruciate ligament disease). Acute lameness in mid-older age patients with MPL is either traumatic damage to the stifle joint or cartilage damage and acute flare of chronic decompensation, but most commonly due to cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Alfred has grade 2 MPL in his left stifle, that may be a risk of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the future. However, a surgical intervention is not indicated, because he is not showing clinical signs (lameness/pain in the left pelvic limb lameness).
His body weight was 6.5Kg, and his tibial bone stock was not too large. Alfred also had medial meniscal injury. A modified Cranial Closing Tibial Wedge Osteotomy (mCCTWO) was performed. At the same time of the osteotomy stabilization, the proximal tibial fragment was laterally rotated to re-align his quadriceps - patella – tibial tuberosity axis. His trochlear groove was shallow, and a rectangular block recession was performed. Alfred entered our 6 weeks rehabilitation program immediately postoperatively. He recovered very well, and now he is running like a puppy. The owners are grateful that Alfred returned to himself as they had not seen him that happy for a long time.

Lovely Luna enjoying her hydrotherapy session. The buoyancy of water reduces pressure on joints and allows dogs to gently exercise as part of their rehabilitation post surgery or to help reduce pain from arthritis and gently build up muscles. By adjusting the water level we can control how much the dog is weight bearing slowly building up their strength.

Meet Rhe, 16 weeks old female entire Border collie. She presented to Cedar Mountain Vet Referral for the right forelimb digit fracture (4th middle phalanx). The owner wanted her to be an agility competitor. She had a protective bandage at the time of presentation. Underneath skin was already compromised by pressure due to protective bandage. The fracture was mid diaphyseal oblique in nature, could not maintain the length of the digit appropriately due to sliding and shortening as the result. The fracture would surely heal eventually if she was rested, because she is a young puppy. However, the fracture could not be maintained in the appropriate position by closed reduction due to oblique nature. It would heal with malunion (heal with shortening and bending), affecting her performance in the future.
The challenge was the bone stock availability. She was small, the bone was small, physes were still open. No effective internal fixation method could be applied. The decision was made to use an intramedullary/dowel pinning (reported by Kornmayer and Lindenberg Vet Record Case report 2022). Intramedullary pin has an advantage of mechanical force against bending, while rotational and compressive forces cannot be neutralized. The neighboring 3rd and 5th digits could act as splint for the fractured 4th digit, while a dowel pin prevent sliding off and bending, and maintain the length of the fractured middle digit. A 0.8mm pin was used. After 4 weeks of postoperative bandaging, fracture has been healing but complete union was not achieved yet. Pressure sores from bandaging started to be a concern. At this stage, the bandage was discontinued. 8 weeks postoperatively, repeated radiographs showed complete union of the fracture. If there was no intramedullary pin in the bone, bandage needed to be continued despite pressure sores. Moreover, the fracture would not heal in physiologic position but malunion (shortening, angled). The benefit of internal fixation is reducing duration of external coaptation (bandage) skin complications, and earlier functional recovery. In fact, Rhe has walked well without bandage since 4 weeks postoperatively. We can’t wait to see Rhe get into agility.

Meet Zeus, 6YO male neutered Poodle cross, who had a benign but massive tumour (cutaneous hemartoma) in his right forelimb. The mass was slowly getting bigger and bothering him. Previously the mass was debulked somewhere else, recurred to the current size. After discussion with the owner, she elected to remove and skin reconstruction two months ago. The process was not straightforward. A thoracodorsal axial pattern skin flap was used to cover the defect after removal of the mass. The tip of the flap was necrotised, and therefore, a revision reconstruction was performed. The flap base was also infected. The infection was controlled and the defect healed finally after 6 weeks after the original surgery. The histopathology result indicated margins were complete! The chance of recurrence of the tumour at the original site is minimal. Thank you, Diane and Zeus for your commitment, and he recovered nicely to himself, running around without an issue.
