The ‘Over‐the‐Top’ Technique for anterior cruciate ligament replacement using the lateral third of the straight patellar ligament and fascia lata as a graft was used in 150 dogs (average weight 35 kg). Follow‐up reports were obtained on 100 cases. The average recovery time was 12 weeks and a successful outcome was achieved in 91 per cent of cases.
