Abstract
Management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the dog continues to be a difficult problem in veterinary orthopedics. This experimental study evaluated a reconstructive technique for ACL injury. The technique evaluated was an over‐the‐top procedure using the fascia lata, lateral retinacular tissue, and the lateral one‐third of the patellar tendon as a substitute for the ACL. The results of clinical and pathologic evaluation indicate the technique can be used for reconstruction of the stifle joint following ACL injury.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
