Ultrasound of the right stifle –
The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) presents as a short and broad echogenic fibre
stump at the intercondylar eminence of the tibia. A thin band of hypoechoic fibres can
be traced proximally between the femoral condyles. Mild periligamentous effusion and
marked irregular thickening of the synovial layer on the surface of the CCL is noted as
well.
The infrapatellar fat body presents heterogenous increase in echogenicity as found
commonly in chronic degenerative joint disease (DJD).
No abnormalities of the menisci were seen.
