The knee joint distractor is inserted cranially into the knee joint and pushed past the cruciate ligaments into the caudal compartment. The specially shaped retention hooks into the caudal edge of the tibial plateau after which the lever is bent in a proximal direction. The tibia will be subluxated in a cranial direction and the knee joint will be slightly spread due to the special curve of the lever. Benefits ● easy stifle joint distraction | ||
