Cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD) remains one of the most prevalent causes of hind limb lameness in dogs, often posing a diagnostic challenge due to its variable clinical presentation. This conference aims to provide veterinarians with practical clinical and radiographic tips and tricks to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of CCLD in canine patients. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of orthopedic examination findings with key radiographic indicators to form a comprehensive diagnostic approach. By the end of the session, participants will be better equipped to recognize the spectrum of CCLD presentations and apply a systematic diagnostic protocol, ultimately improving patient outcomes through timely and accurate intervention.
