Biomechanics of Cranial Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in the Dog I. In Vitro Laxity Testing

Following an “over‐the‐top” reconstruction of the cranial cruciate ligament using fascia lata and the lateral one‐third of the patellar ligament, joint instability was measured using an in vitro laxity testing device. Cranlocaudal drawer increased between zero and four weeks, then returned to initial values at 26 weeks.
