The knee is prone to a number of injuries amongst humans as well as dogs, horses and occasionally cats. One of the most common knee injuries in dogs is a ruptured cruciate ligament.
Knee anatomy. The knee is a joint that is formed by three bones:
-
Femur (the long bone extending down from the hip)
-
Tibia (the bone between the knee and ankle); and
-
Patella (the kneecap).
Diagnosis of a ruptured cruciate ligament
The diagnosis of a ruptured cruciate ligament is made through observing abnormal movement of the joint. A veterinarian will place one hand around the femur and one around the tibia in a precise manner. By applying pressure on the knee, the veterinarian will feel the bones move abnormally in what is called a 'drawer sign.' It is called that because the movement of the femur in relation to the tibia is similar to pulling and pushing in the drawer of a cabinet. If an animal is in a lot of pain, or very nervous, the muscles near the knee may be so tense that they prevent the drawer movement from occurring. If a veterinarian suspects a ruptured cruciate ligament in a dog but cannot elicit the drawer sign, the dog may be heavily sedated to relax the muscles and then re-examined for the drawer sign.
