Repair of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in an alpaca

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1999
A mature male alpaca with acute lameness of the left hindlimb was diagnosed as having a rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament. Repair was achieved using a combination of surgical techniques. A patellar ligament autograft was passed under the cranial meniscal ligament, through the joint and over the femoral condyle, and anchored using a screw and ...

Tensile Strength of Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligaments

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1971
SUMMARY Tensile strength of normal cranial cruciate ligaments in dogs was determined with a tensile-testing machine. A procedure to measure the cross-sectional area of cranial cruciate ligament was devised. Mean length of the cranial cruciate ligament was 0.8 cm. Fracture stress and percentage of elongation were determined for each ligament. Percentage

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Pathophysiology in Dogs With Cruciate Disease: A Review

Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 2004
Cruciate disease is a common cause of chronic lameness in dogs. Midsubstance rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) arises from progressive pathological failure, often under conditions of normal loading in adult dogs with CCL instability. A high risk of rupture is associated with inflammation of the synovium and adaptive or degenerative changes

Intracapsular Repairs For Cranial Cruciate Ligament Ruptures

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1993
Two intracapsular techniques and their modifications are described that can be regarded as the most accepted procedures in general use today. The difficulty in rationalizing a choice between intra- and extracapsular techniques is discussed with some principles being suggested to help the surgeon choose a technique.

Decision-Making In Cranial Cruciate Ligament Ruptures

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1993
Differential diagnoses for cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) ruptures are discussed. Management of CrCL ruptures complicated by other orthopedic or medical problems is discussed and illustrated with clinical cases. The literature comparing various repair techniques for CrCl ruptures is reviewed and some recommendations for repair choices made.
