Joint Surgeries

  • Cranial Cruciate Rupture (often referred to by human terminology as a torn “ACL”) can be surgically treated in any size pet
  • Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)—usually gives the pet a swift recovery and excellent long-term function
  • Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)—an alternative to TPLO, TTA is a faster, less aggressive surgical option for both large and small dogs, of any age, that weigh at least 10 pounds.
  • Extracapsular Suture—many pets, especially the smaller ones, can achieve good long-term function
  • Dislocations and other joint surgery
