An exciting new surgical\u00a0option has been\u00a0developed for treatment of canine cruciate injuries. It is called Simitri Stable in Stride\u00ae, invented by Dr. Neil Embleton and\u00a0Dr. Veronica Barkowski in Alberta, Canada.<\/p>\n

Dr. Embleton has almost 30 years of experience in treating canine cruciate injuries and has performed at least six thousand repairs, conservatively. He is\u00a0certified in AO\/ASIF techniques, spinal surgery, arthroscopy, TPLO<\/a>, and total hip replacement. After performing close to 2,500 TPLO surgeries, Dr. Embleton started to question the goal of geometry-modifying procedures. “I began to think about what the role of the cranial cruciate ligament was and how we could reproduce its function and maintain joint biomechanics in as least an invasive method as possible. That process began 6 years ago. The result was the Simitri Stable in Stride\u00ae<\/span>\u00a0implant,” he said.<\/p>\n

Simitri Stable in Stride\u00ae is a three-part, modular stifle (knee) stabilizing implant. It is designed to provide\u00a0continuous translational and rotational stability while minimally affecting stifle kinematics and biomechanics.\u00a0It is this symmetry between the two main objectives of cruciate repair techniques\u2013stability and kinematics\u2013from which the name Simitri is derived. Other surgical procedures would often result in one objective or the other, but never both. Simitri has changed that. No osteotomy (cutting bone) is performed and joint architecture is preserved. The implant is made with\u00a0surgical grade stainless steel femoral and tibial plates and an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding articulating insert. Dr. Embleton explains in detail how it works in this interview<\/a> with\u00a0Dawg Business:<\/p>\n

\"emerging<\/a>
A=femoral plate, B=tibial plate, C=articular insert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“The femoral plate has a ball and stem which interconnects with the tibial plate via an 8 mm travel channel within the articulating insert. The implant is attached to the medial (inner) side of both the femur (thigh) and tibia (shin) using six cortical locking screws. The implant does not go into the joint and, no bones or muscles are cut during the procedure making it a less invasive option.<\/p>\n

Joint biomechanics (function) are not significantly altered during the procedure. Once implanted it provides immediate and continuous translational and rotational stability while allowing the joint the freedom to flex, extend, compress, expand and move side to side in as normal a manner as possible.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Embleton and Dr. Barkowski focused on evidence-based results as much as possible during the development process. “Implant design engineering was done using CT scans and CAD software, the implant design was tested and refined using 3D computer modelling and biomechanical testing. Finally, cadaver work was used to establish the surgical procedure before going anywhere near a live patient,” Dr. Embleton said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Barkowski\u00a0has been practicing veterinary medicine for nearly 30 years as well. While her main area of expertise now is soft tissue surgery, she was instrumental in the development of the Simitri implant and the surgical technique, said Dr. Embleton. She was especially involved with developing\u00a0the method used to accurately position the implant during surgery based on measurements obtained from the preoperative radiographs.<\/p>\n

While it is difficult to compare Simitri with other existing surgical procedures due to such stark differences in technique, results from Simitri clinical trials are promising. So far these trials have shown that after Simitri surgery, dogs\u00a0regain normal range of motion, which has not been shown in studies of any of the current procedures.<\/p>\n

\"emerging<\/a>

The initial study of the first 66 Simitri cases indicated\u00a0very similar complication values compared to what is currently reported for TPLO and TTA<\/a> surgeries; however, the types of complications encountered were significantly different and generally less serious than TPLO or TTA, Dr. Embleton said. Because Simitri is less invasive than other procedures,\u00a0osteotomy-related complications (eg. higher rates of infection) are nonexistent.\u00a0Minor complications such as incision site breakdown, swelling, and bleeding can be expected to occur at similar rates after any procedure.<\/p>\n

Simitri is designed to provide stability in the knees immediately after surgery and remain stable throughout the entire phase of stride (both weight bearing and non-weight bearing), unlike other surgeries. With TPLO and TTA, for example,\u00a0the knee is purported to be \u201cdynamically stable,\u201d which means it is stable during only the weight bearing phase of stride. The full stability in Simitri knees may protect the joint from further damage, especially to the menisci (cartilages). “To date we have not seen any dogs develop clinical signs of meniscal tears after Simitri surgery,” Dr. Embleton said.<\/p>\n

\"emerging<\/a>

After 175 cases of Simitri surgery performed by Dr. Embleton, there has yet to be a documented case of postoperative infection. Rejection of the implant is also unlikely as both surgical grade stainless steel plates and the UHMWPE are both highly\u00a0biocompatible.<\/p>\n

Although dependent on age, breed, degree of preexisting disease or injury, and rehabilitation effort by the owners, most Simitri dogs return to their preoperative activity level within four months. Ideal rehabilitation includes\u00a0controlled exercise, massage<\/a>, and passive range of motion exercises, all of which are designed to strengthen the hind end and increase ROM of the ankle, knee, and hip.\u00a0Because there is no cutting of bone or muscle during the procedure, postoperative restrictions are not as onerous, said Dr. Embleton.<\/p>\n

Simitri is an option for any dog (without neoplasia or a known infection) that fits the currently available implants, which fit most dogs between 44 and 79 lbs (20-36 kg). A smaller design is also available that should allow dogs as small as 22 lbs (10 kg) to be treated. Implants for dogs larger than 80 lbs are currently in the design process and will hopefully be available by the end of this year. Simitri is an option for dogs of any age as well. In fact, “Simitri is ideal for older patients,” Dr. Embleton said<\/a>. “Our oldest patient treated to date was 14 years old. He was walking within 24 hours of surgery.” The longest cases of Simitri knees have been out for over three years now.<\/p>\n

As far as geographic availability is concerned, there are several vets in both Canada and the U.S. who are now performing Simitri surgery. Dr. Embleton and Dr. Barkowski hope that Simitri\u00a0will become more widely available as awareness and knowledge of the procedure grows in the veterinary world. “We now have pre-surgical planning guides and a step-by-step surgical guide to assist surgeons in performing the procedure. We are also considering offering wet labs and I am willing to help any veterinarian at any time,” Dr. Embleton said. The implant itself is manufactured in the U.S. and is available worldwide.<\/p>\n

There is still a long way to go in the evolution\u00a0of canine cruciate\u00a0injury repair techniques, but Dr. Embleton is optimistic about\u00a0the future. “This may sound strange coming from a surgeon, but my hope is that one day we can use nonsurgical means to treat, or better yet to prevent, cruciate ligament disease,” he said. While it will probably be many years before\u00a0that option is available, he believes that\u00a0immediate stability throughout the stride is the key to success in cruciate surgery. “I don\u2019t know if the Simitri implant is the answer that we have been looking for, or just the direction we should be following. I do know this: we now have a new way to look at an old disease.”<\/p>\n
