Evaluation of the cranial cruciate ligament repair system(®) in surgery for laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system on laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses. Twenty-four heavy draft horses diagnosed with grade 4 laryngeal hemiplegia were allocated to either the prosthetic laryngoplasty (PL) group (n=14) or a canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system (CCCLRS) group (n=10). Right to left angle quotients (RLQs) of abductions of the arytenoid cartilages were endoscopically evaluated before and after surgery. Post-operative RLQs in the CCCLRS group were significantly lower than those of the PL group (P<0.01). The canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system was revealed to be a good surgical procedure for laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses.

This research investigates the effectiveness of the canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system in treating laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses, finding that it presents significant advantages compared to the prosthetic laryngoplasty method.
Research Objective
- The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system (CCCLRS) in treating laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses.
Research Methods
- The researchers selected twenty-four heavy draft horses diagnosed with grade 4 laryngeal hemiplegia for the study.
- These horses were split into two groups: one group underwent a prosthetic laryngoplasty (PL) procedure (14 horses), and the other underwent a procedure using the CCCLRS (10 horses).
- The Right to Left Angle Quotients (RLQs) of abductions of the arytenoid cartilages in each horse were endoscopically evaluated before and after the surgery.
Results and Conclusion
- Post-operative RLQs measurements in the CCCLRS group were significantly lower than those in the PL group, demonstrating that the former procedure had a greater, more positive impact on the condition of the horses.
- Therefore, the study concludes that the CCCLRS is an effective surgical procedure for treating laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses.
Implications
- This research might lead to a shift in the preferred surgical procedure for treating laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses, leading to better outcomes for these animals.
