A novel technique for the repair of a chronically lacerated patellar ligament in a pet greyhound is described. The injury had been sustained traumatically, and a previous surgical repair had proved unsuccessful. On further surgical investigation, identification of the ruptured ligament ends was not possible. A double fascia lata graft was employed to reconstruct the lateral and medial portions of the ligament. This repair was augmented with 27 kg monofilament nylon anchored through tunnels from the proximal tibia to the patella and quadriceps tendon. A concurrent skin deficit was managed with a superficial epigastric axial pattern flap. To the authors' knowledge, only one previous case requiring complete patellar ligament replacement has been documented in the veterinary literature. This report details a simplified surgical technique which may have advantages over the previously described technique.
