Collagenolytic Protease Expression in Cranial Cruciate Ligament and Stifle Synovial Fluid in Dogs with Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Veterinary Surgery, 2005
Objective—To determine expression of collagenolytic genes and collagen degradation in stifle tissues of dogs with ruptured cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).Animals—Six dogs with CCL rupture and 11 dogs with intact CCL.Procedures—Gene expression in CCL tissue and synovial fluid cells was studied using reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT ...

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.

Stromelysin Activity in Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 1999
SummaryThe goal of our study was to compare values of stromelysin activity in stifle joint tissues, from dogs with osteoarthritis, secondary to naturally acquired cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture and from a control population.Twenty four dogs (CCL group) with osteoarthritis (OA), secondary to CCL rupture, were evaluated.

Update on the aetiopathogenesis of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease

Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2011
SummaryCranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) is the most common cause of hindlimb lameness in the dog, being associated with and eventually leading to stifle osteoarthritis. Canine cranial cruciate ligament disease is a gradual degeneration of the ligament extra-cellular matrix (ECM) leading to ligament rupture.
