Implication

Characterizes collagen changes in the joint capsule of dogs with patellar luxation or ligament rupture, suggesting implications for treatment.

Key Points

The objective is to characterize collagen alterations in the stifle joint capsule of dogs with patellar luxation and cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
Tissue samples were obtained from dogs with patellar luxation or ligament rupture during surgery.
Control samples were collected from dogs with distal femoral fractures.
Histological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to quantify collagen content and types.
Collagen distribution varied significantly among capsule layers with the stratum subsynoviale showing the highest collagen area.
Chronic joint disease was linked to elevated collagen types V and VI while control samples had higher collagen type IV.
Dogs with peracute lameness showed lower collagen type VI levels than those with subchronic lameness.
