Lateral Suture Stabilization
Lateral fabellar suture stabilization is an established extracapsular technique designed to replicate healthy joint function when ligaments are diseased or torn.
Trusted by veterinarians for decades, Movora’s lateral suture supplies provide accessible, reliable stabilization to restore mobility in dogs affected by cranial cruciate ligament disease.
The Foundation of Extracapsular Repair
Extracapsular lateral suture stabilization (ELSS) is a tried-and-true surgical technique for addressing stifle instability. By placing a monofilament suture outside the joint capsule, the procedure restores the mechanical support lost to ligament injury and helps patients regain daily mobility.
By limiting cranial translation of the tibia, the stabilization that the fabellar suture provides, particularly for smaller patients, can restore normal or near-normal joint function.
Decades of Dependable Outcomes
Established Technique: A reliable, repeatable procedure backed by decades of veterinary use.
Multiple Options: Movora offers a complete line of lateral suture products to match surgeon preference and patient needs.
Controlled Fixation: Incremental, verifiable tension control supports surgical consistency.

Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease
Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) disease is among the most common orthopedic conditions in dogs, severely impacting their ability to walk, run, and maintain long-term mobility. Lateral suture stabilization remains a dependable option to manage this condition and improve quality of life.
