The clinical, radiographic, arthroscopic and pathological findings of 10 horses with injury to the cranial cruciate ligament are presented. The most consistent clinical signs included moderate to severe distension of the femoropatellar joint and a Grade III to a Grade V out of V lameness. Craniocaudal instability could be elicited in five horses under general anaesthesia and in one conscious horse. Radiographic evaluation of the stifles revealed that avulsion fracture of the medial intercondylar eminence was the most common finding in six out of 10 horses. Arthroscopic examination of the affected femorotibial joints were performed in five horses. This confirmed the presumptive diagnosis of cranial cruciate ligament injury or rupture. Post mortem examinations were performed on two horses which documented partial tears of the cranial cruciate ligament.
本文呈现了10例颅交叉韧带损伤马匹的临床、影像学、关节镜及病理检查结果。最常见的临床症状包括股髌关节中度至重度肿胀，以及五级跛行中的三级至五级跛行。在5匹全麻马匹和1匹清醒马匹中可诱发颅尾侧不稳定。对膝关节进行的影像学评估显示，10匹马中有6匹最常见的表现是内侧髁间隆起撕脱骨折。对5匹马的患侧股胫关节进行了关节镜检查。这证实了颅交叉韧带损伤或断裂的初步诊断。对2匹马进行了尸检，结果记录了颅交叉韧带的部分撕裂。
