TPLO Surgery for Dogs
If your dog tears their cranial cruciate ligament or badly injures their knee, your veterinarian may recommend TPLO, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy surgery. This surgery is designed to restore your dog’s knee function by aligning the tibia properly with the femur. Among several benefits of surgery, your dog’s mobility will gradually improve, helping your dog return to an active and enjoyable daily life.
