The patient was presented with a history of lameness in the left rear leg. Physical Exam was inconclusive regarding cranial drawer in the left stifle.
Surgery confirmed partial tear of the cranial cruciate ligament and the meniscus was in tact.
The left stifle joint presented moderate anechoic effusion, moderate capsular thickening and moderate synovial proliferation. There were mild to moderate osteophyte formations at the periarticular margins. The femoral condylar cartilage surface appeared to be mildly roughened. The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) presented partial loss of integrity with irregular margination, uneven thickness and periligamentous effusion. There was a small hyperechoic fibre stump visible next to the distal insertion of the CCL at the tibial intercondylar eminence. The caudal cruciate ligament was not seen. The medial and lateral meniscus did not present ultrasonographic abnormalities.
