Abstract

A 3-month-old male Cocker Spaniel was presented with the complaint of chronic right hind leg lameness. The owner described superficial trauma at the area of the hock, which was noticed immediately after delivery. History, habitus, physical examination, and radiography suggested rupture of the common calcaneal tendon. This report describes the successful repair of complete rupture of the common calcaneal tendon, with loss of tendon length, using a fascia lata free graft.
