Anterior cruciate ligament zoobiquity: Can man's best friend tell us we are being too cautious with the implementation of osteotomy to correct posterior tibial slope.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is used to treat clinical instability post ACL rupture, however, there is a high rate of incomplete return to sport and rerupture. There is increasing interest in posterior tibial slope as an intrinsic risk factor for ACLR failure and persistent instability. Zoobiquity describes the collaboration between the human and veterinary professions in order to advance the scientific understanding of both fields. Given the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) in dogs is synonymous with the anterior cruciate ligament in humans, functioning to control internal rotation and anterior translation, but osteotomies, rather than ligament reconstruction, are the mainstay of treatment for CCL rupture, this editorial sort to gain insights into this form of treatment from the veterinary world. Level of Evidence: Level V, evidence.
