There are several ways to correct a ruptured anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) or cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). But many
veterinarians choose to perform TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling
Osteotomy), one of the more popular orthopedic procedures because of
high repair percentage recovery of the ACL. Dogs that have undergone the
procedure are able to regain full use of the affected joint.
The
procedure also have lesser possibility of patients developing
post-operative problems and complications. When affected joints heal,
affected dogs have higher chances of regaining their active lifestyle
before their ACL was ruptured. Dogs recovering from TPLO also tends to
suffer from less pain. Large canine breeds also have an improved
long-term function recovery.
If your dog has a torn ACL or CCL,
you should talk to your veterinary surgeon so you will know what
treatment options are available for your dog. If you want to know more
