The cranial cruciate ligament was surgically removed from the right stifle joint in ten heavy steers and two bulls, and replaced with a tendon-ligament graft harvested from the tendon of the gluteobiceps muscle including a portion of the lateral patellar ligament. Two surgical techniques (placing the graft through a femoral bone tunnel and placing the graft through the joint space) were compared using six animals in each group.Both surgical techniques were easily performed and caused minimal postoperative inflammation. The clinical response observed over four to five months was considered satisfactory in 9 of 12 animals. However, the tensile strength of the graft determined at necropsy was less than the cranial cruciate ligament in the opposite normal stifle in all animals tested.
在10头重型阉牛和2头公牛身上，从右侧膝关节手术切除颅侧十字韧带，并用取自臀二头肌肌腱（包括部分髌外侧韧带）的肌腱-韧带移植物进行替换。使用每组6只动物比较了两种手术技术（通过股骨骨隧道植入移植物和通过关节间隙植入移植物）。两种手术技术操作均简便，术后炎症轻微。在4至5个月的观察期内，12只动物中有9只的临床反应被认为是令人满意的。然而，在所有受试动物中，尸检时测定的移植物拉伸强度均低于对侧正常膝关节中的颅侧十字韧带。
