Folding of the caudal horn of the medial meniscus after surgical severence of the cranial cruciate ligament was investigated. When the stifle was flexed and the tibia was placed in a cranial position, the caudal horn of the medial meniscus could move forward without damaging the meniscus or the caudal joint capsule. Forward movement of the tibia with the stifle extended could damage the meniscus and/or the joint capsule. Abnormal position of the meniscus did not necessarily indicate meniscal damage.
