The feline patient has an excellent prognosis for return to normal stifle function with all but the most severe knee injuries. Thorough physical and radiographic evaluation of the stifle predicts successful management of stifle injury. By understanding the mechanics of injured structures, the surgeon can integrate repair methods that maximize the chances of the stifle returning to normal function.
