• Resumen

  • CRANIAL cruciate ligament failure is the most significant underlying factor for development of meniscal injury in the canine stifle joint. Non-invasive methods of diagnosing meniscal injury in dogs include MRI, CT arthrography and ultrasonography. However, both MRI and CT arthrography are expensive and typically require sedation or general anaesthesia, and results from ultrasound can vary depending on the operator. Physical tests are available, affordable and can be easily performed, but their efficacy in diagnosing medical meniscal injury is considered low.
