Ultrasound of the right stifle – a moderate amount of osteophytes is seen at the periarticular margins. The femoropatellar joint carrilage presents mild irregularity at the most proximal extent of the femoral trochlea. The infrapatellar fat pad presents an irregular echo pattern. Most of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) fibers are continuous, but with increased thickness and irregular delineation. The continuous fibers appear to be elongated. The medial and lateral meniscus are ultrasonographically within normal limits.
A meniscal pathology is not identified.
