Transected cranial cruciate ligaments in nine Holstein heifers were replaced with an autograft harvested from fascia on the medial surface of the gluteobiceps muscle and a connected segment of the lateral patellar ligament. There was minimal lameness at month 1, and all animals were sound by month 2. There was no evidence of degenerative joint disease in any stifles examined at necropsy on days 90, 120, or 365. Augmented healing of the severed cranial cruciate ligaments occurred in several animals. The mean failure strength of the cranial cruciate ligament replacements was 29.7% of the failure strength of the contralateral normal cranial cruciate ligament in four heifers. The technique was successful in eight of 13 bulls and cows with ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments. Animals treated successfully had significantly lower body weights than those with unsuccessful outcomes.
在9头荷斯坦小母牛中，切断的颅交叉韧带用取自臀二头肌内侧表面筋膜的自体移植物和髌外侧韧带的相连节段进行替代。术后1个月跛行极轻微，所有动物在2个月时恢复正常。在第90、120或365天尸检时，所检查的任何膝关节均无退行性关节病的证据。几只动物出现了切断的颅交叉韧带愈合增强的情况。在4头小母牛中，颅交叉韧带替代物的平均失效强度为对侧正常颅交叉韧带失效强度的29.7%。该技术在13头颅交叉韧带断裂的公牛和母牛中，有8例成功。成功治疗的动物体重明显低于治疗未成功的动物。
