Kaplan-Meier plots for CrCL time to rupture of partial CR stifles with and without PRP-collagen treatment [1]. Cases that developed a complete CR (Grade III ligament rupture) were censored for analysis. Arthroscopic examination and associated lavage, together with intra-articular PRP-collagen, did not significantly influence time to complete CR over the study period (Table 3). (A) Development of complete CR in all partial CR stifles. (B) Development of complete CR in stifles with Grade 1 radiographic effusion at diagnosis. (C) Development of complete CR in stifles with Grade 2 radiographic effusion at diagnosis. (D) Development of complete CR in stifles with Grade 1 radiographic OA at the time of diagnosis. (E) Development of complete CR in stifles with Grade 2 radiographic OA at the time of diagnosis. Abbreviations: PRP, platelet rich plasma; CR, cruciate rupture; CrCL, cranial cruciate ligament; OA, osteoarthritis; TPLO, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy.
