Patients diagnosed with EDS may present with joint instability, and in human medicine, an increased risk of cranial cruciate rupture has been described. A few therapeutic options for these patients have been described, with no evident superiority of one technique due to small study groups. Cranial cruciate rupture has never been described in a dog with EDS. This is a case report of an 11-month-old Maltese diagnosed with bilateral cruciate ligament rupture and classical EDS with a previously undescribed heterozygous COL5A1 missense variant that underwent stifle stabilization.
