TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
(Canine ACL Surgery)

Frequently, cruciate ligament rupture is a gradual process and not simply due to a single traumatic injury. Rupture of the cruciate ligament in both knees is common. In addition, one out of three dogs will also develop a cruciate rupture of the opposite stifle. TPLO Surgery has a steep learning curve; therefore, it is important to choose a board-certified orthopedic surgeon for TPLO surgery. We have a board certified surgeon, Dr. Rick Schwach, perform our TPLO's.
