The ability to move the tibia forward (cranially) with respect to a fixed femur is a positive cranial drawer sign indicative of a rupture (it will look like a drawer being opened). [ 9 ] Another method used to diagnose a rupture is the tibial compression test, in which a veterinarian will stabilize the femur with one hand and flex the ankle ...
In the quadruped stifle joint (analogous to the knee), based on its anatomical position, it is also referred to as the cranial cruciate ligament. [1] The term cruciate is Latin for cross. This name is fitting because the ACL crosses the posterior cruciate ligament to form an "X".
An increased amount of anterior tibial translation compared with the opposite limb or lack of a firm end-point may indicate either a sprain of the anteromedial bundle or complete tear of the ACL. [2] If the tibia pulls forward or backward more than normal, the test is considered positive.
Tightrope CCL is a veterinary orthopedic surgical method developed to provide a minimally invasive procedure for extracapsular stabilization of the canine cranial cruciate ligament-deficient stifle joint. The cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) stabilizes the dog knee much like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does in humans.
If the ankle–brachial pressure index is less than 0.9, CT angiography is recommended to detect blood vessel injury. [3] Otherwise repeated physical exams may be sufficient. [ 2 ] More recently, the FAST-D protocol, assessing the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries for a ‘tri-phasic wave pattern’ with ultrasound, has been shown to ...
Pressure gauge used to measure intracompartmental pressure in suspected compartment syndrome. The device consists of a needle catheter that is inserted directly into the affected limb which is then connected to a pressure transducer. The transducer can relay the measurement to an A-line monitor or a standard pressure gauge.

In biomechanics, center of pressure (CoP) is the term given to the point of application of the ground reaction force vector. The ground reaction force vector represents the sum of all forces acting between a physical object and its supporting surface. Analysis of the center of pressure is common in studies on human postural control and gait.
