A study of short tibia syndrome and its association with cranial cruciate ligament degeneration in dogs

In the study group, tibial length discrepancy measurements were positively and highly correlated to cranial cruciate ligament degeneration, stifle instability and rupture. The degree of tibial length discrepancy measures was found to be positively and highly correlated to the severity of the radiographic changes of degeneration in the stifle joints (correlation of almost +1 on Pearson correlation coefficient test; Figure 5).
