Comparison of the biornechanical properties of rottweiler and racing greyhound cranial cruciate ligaments

Abstract: An in vitro study of rottweiler and racing greyhound cranial cruciate ligaments revealed that the rottweiler ligaments had a significantly greater cross-sectional area at their distal attachments. Mechanical testing showed that the ultimate load related to body mass was significantly higher in the extended racing greyhound stifle during cranial tibial loading to failure, as were linear stiffness, tensile strength and tangent modulus. During ligament axis loading to failure, the only significant difference in s… Show more

“…The values for ultimate loadhtress and deformationktrain obtained in the present study are approximately 50% less than those reported by Wingfield and co-workers [34]. This difference may be due to the straightening of the fibres of the ACLs in parallel orientation to the applied load during our testing protocol, removing the helical twist which contributes strength to the ligament [7].…”

“…The structural properties of the ACL were determined by loading the femur-ACL-tibia complex in the materials testing machine at 30" of flexion as described by Wingfield et al [34]. The anatomic orientation of the femur-ACL-tibia complex ensured that the ligament axis was aligned to the load axis of the testing machine as described by Woo et al [36].…”

“…All materials were in sterile packaging when purchased, so the sterilisation method used did not have any influence on our study. It was estimated that canine CCL resists load of 50 N at walk and up to 400-600 N during higher activity (Caporn and Roe 1996;Wingfield et al 2000;Burgess et al 2010). The lowest estimated physiologic load (dogs between 30 and 60 kg) of the canine CCL is estimated to be 126 N (Rose et al 2012).…”
