[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1529655, member: 16453"] As Lucky said. TC the trouble with cruciate ligaments they snap like rubber bands so the ends are miles apart will never heal. The body does try to stabilise the joint by laying down scar tissue around the joint, probably the swelling on the medial side that you see is the start of it. Unfortunately it also restricts the movement as well. The cruciate ligaments stop the fore and aft movement between the femur and tibia so while scar tissue may produce enough stability for walking on flat ground, when he is up on his back legs there will be some shifting movement causing pain. If it has been a while since he had his end in, he might go on with the job but if there has been a lot of work for him to do he might just pass on the offer and eat grass. Ken [/QUOTE]
