Elastin content of canine cruciate ligaments. Elastin averaged 9.86 ± 3.97% (total ligament dry weight) in the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) and 10.79 ± 4.37% in the caudal cruciate ligament (CaCL) (P = 0.28). In dogs 1–4, both the left and right knees were studied and the pairs of CCLs and CaCLs had very similar intra- and inter-ligament elastin content. There were no significant statistical differences between the pairs of CCLs and CaCLs or between the left and right knees.
