Abstract

See full text

A surgical procedure for repairing and stabilizing an injured (torn, partially torn, or otherwise injured) cranial cruciate ligament in the canine stifle joint. The procedure strategically implants multiple filaments with increased tensile strength along multiple separate extra-capsular loading pathways that divide and distribute the load on the canine's stifle joint in different planes and directions for greater overall stability and strength of the repair. The filaments are anchored at multiple strategic points to stabilize the canine stifle joint. The repaired stifle joint requires multiple points of failure in the implanted filaments for the procedure to fail.
