Ultrasonographic examination of the patellar ligament after capsular and fascial imbrication for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs
Patellar ligament alterations following CFI appear temporary and largely unrelated to clinical signs, patient factors, or treatment variables. These findings suggest that such changes do not significantly impact postoperative outcomes, underscoring the reliability of CFI as a treatment option for CCL rupture in dogs.
