(wikipedia.org)
  • Ruptures or tears of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), also known as the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL), are common in the dog. (dupontvet.com)
  • For example, in studies that did not focus on specific breeds or ages of neutering, one found that hip dysplasia and cranial cruciate ligament tears or ruptures were significantly more likely in neutered than intact males and females ( 2 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • We have seen one or two patients that we really thought had spinal cord disorders that actually had bilateral cruciate ligament ruptures. (vetinfo.com)

Tears16
  • Grade III - Severe trauma to the ligament, which completely tears all the ligament's fibers. (emoryhealthcare.org)
  • For example, an ACL tear often occurs along with tears to the MCL and the shock-absorbing cartilage in the knee (meniscus). (medlineplus.gov)
  • Most ACL tears occur in the middle of the ligament, or the ligament is pulled off the thigh bone. (medlineplus.gov)
  • [ 11 , 12 ] MRI should be obtained in all patients with suspected PCL tears because of the high incidence of injury to other structures of the knee, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), and the menisci. (medscape.com)
  • Many posterior cruciate ligament tears are partial tears with the potential to heal on their own. (orthoinfo.org)

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were an exception -- these occurred at nearly the same rate in both groups. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Despite extensive research, better diagnostic skills and reconstructive techniques, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears are still a devastating injury with significant short and long term implications. (howardluksmd.com)
  • In reality, we know that upwards of 75% of ACL tears occur from a cutting, pivoting or twisting non-contact injury. (howardluksmd.com)
  • Injuries range from mild, such as a small tear, to severe, such as when the ligament tears completely or when the ligament and part of the bone separate from the rest of the bone. (andersonclinic.com)
  • ACL (CCL) tears likely occur due to a combination of factors. (dupontvet.com)
  • Another study found that neutering was associated with a 3-fold increase in excessive tibial plateau angle ( 3 ), which is a risk factor for development of cranial cruciate ligament tears or rupture. (frontiersin.org)
  • Cruciate ligament tears may happen in contact and non-contact sports injuries or any type of major trauma. (kendal.org)
  • Degenerative tears (those that occur over time) of the medial meniscus in people over 50 often don't require surgery," Gausewitz says. (kendal.org)

Major stabilizing ligament1
Tendon4
  • The thumb has a similar system for its long flexor tendon but with a single oblique pulley replacing the cruciate pulleys found in the fingers. (wikipedia.org)
  • A meniscus injury or a muscle, cruciate ligament or tendon tear can also trigger acute pain. (ottobock.com)
  • Patellar tendonitis - Inflammation of the tendon below the kneecap, also known as "jumper's knee", that commonly occurs in athletes who jump or run. (healthpartners.com)
  • Tendon protein synthesis in otherwise healthy males and females scheduled for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. (who.int)
Meniscus injury1
Cartilage7
  • Immediate swelling after the injury occurs - This typically indicates there is some form of bleeding in the knee joint, which suggests either injury to the ligaments, cartilage, or both. (emoryhealthcare.org)
  • Often, a posterior cruciate ligament injury occurs along with injuries to other structures in the knee, such as cartilage, other ligaments, and bone. (orthoinfo.org)
  • The connective tissues include several types of fibrous tissue that vary only in their density and cellularity, as well as the more specialized and recognizable variants-bone, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and adipose (fat) tissue. (onteenstoday.com)
  • Injuries to the meniscus (a C-shaped shock-absorbing cartilage between the bones of the knee) and cruciate ligaments , on the other hand, require surgery most frequently, Gausewitz adds. (kendal.org)
  • Several structures in the knee are often damaged at the same time, such as the menisci, other ligaments, and cartilage. (lu.se)
  • The injury to the articular cartilage occurs in the deeper layers without any surface evidence of injury. (medscape.com)
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency allows for anterior subluxation of the tibia on the femur, which leads to increased shear force upon the articular cartilage and, ultimately, to early degeneration of the articular surface. (medscape.com)

Types of knee ligament2
  • Rates of ankle sprain and three types of knee ligament injury were approximately doubled in the 12 months after a concussion diagnosis compared with a non-concussed control group, according to Andrea Johnson, MSN, of Luminis Health in Annapolis, Maryland, and colleagues. (medpagetoday.com)
