Springs, and beyond

The TPLO surgery in dogs is performed to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injury. This is the most common orthopedic injury we diagnose in dogs. Equivalent to the ACL in people, this ligament can degenerate over time. Because of this degeneration and the unique structure of the canine knee, the cruciate ligament is not replaced or repaired. Instead, the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedure is used to stabilize the knee. This surgery has a high success rate that, once healed from surgery, allows your pet to enjoy normal activity once again.
