Abstract
Cruciate disease is the most prevalent cause of hindlimb lameness among the canine population. As a result of the prevalent nature of the condition, improved management strategies are continually being sought from both a surgical and conservative perspective. This article discusses cruciate disease, and the KVP ‘Balto’ brace in relation to its use as part of conservative management strategy.
