Abstract
A 10-year-old, male neutered 25 kg Border Collie was referred for investigation of left pelvic limb lameness. Radiographs demonstrated the presence of stifle effusion. Arthrotomy revealed an isolated caudal cruciate ligament rupture; this was repaired surgically via extracapsular stabilisation. Follow-up 10 weeks postoperatively showed complete resolution of lameness.
