Ultrasound and Elastosonographic Features of the Patellar Ligament in Dogs Affected by Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesThis study aims to evaluate the morpho-functional change in the patellar ligament in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease. We hypothesized that it may show increased thickening and stiffness with increasing days from onset to diagnosis instead of ...

Patellar luxation and concomitant cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs - A review [PDF]
Veterinární Medicína, 2022 A patellar luxation and concomitant cranial cruciate ligament rupture is a common pathology in dogs. Diagnosis is based on clinical evidence of a patellar luxation and stifle joint instability. However, diagnostic imaging is required to assess the number

Proteoglycans play a role in the viscoelastic behaviour of the canine cranial cruciate ligament. [PDF]
Front Bioeng Biotechnol, 2022 Proteoglycans (PGs) are minor extracellular matrix proteins, and their contributions to the mechanobiology of complex ligaments such as the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) have not been determined to date. The CCLs are highly susceptible to injuries, and
