Context:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common debilitating injury in animals.
Current surgical treatments for ACL injuries have limitations.
The need for effective and cost-efficient stabilization methods is critical.

Purpose:

To describe and evaluate an intra-articular synthetic graft for knee joint stabilization following anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
To assess the efficacy and safety of this novel technique in a canine and feline model.

Summary:

A novel intra-articular method utilizing synthetic material for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was employed in forty dogs and two cats.
No instances of graft rejection were observed within a fourteen-month follow-up period.
The procedure effectively stabilized the knee joint, resolving concurrent patellar dislocations and yielding moderate to satisfactory clinical outcomes.
