Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears are some of the most common canine knee injuries.
This ligament is similar to a human's anterior crucial ligament (ACL). A dog’s knee has two cruciate ligaments: the caudal cruciate ligament and the cranial cruciate ligament. They cross over each other inside the knee, which is why they are called “cruciate.” CCL tears are quite painful and can cause disability.
