Cruciate Ligament Surgery
The cruciate ligament is a band of fibrous tissue that attaches the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone). Essentially, it is a torn knee ligament. More commonly than cats, a dog, can tear their cruciate ligament by trauma or can rupture in older pets from long term use. Other factors like genetics, physical condition, and conformation can cause a torn ligament. Some dog breeds, like Labradors and Boxers, are more prone to having this injury. It is almost always recommended by veterinarians to perform surgery to repair the ligament. There are a couple of surgical options that use different methods to repair the ligament.
