TPLO Surgery: Advanced Knee Repair for Your Dog
Is your dog limping or holding up a hind leg? A torn Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL)—similar to an ACL tear in humans—is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. At Lethbridge Pet Hospital, we offer TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery, the gold-standard treatment for stabilizing the knee and getting your pet back to their active self.
Why Choose TPLO Surgery?
Unlike traditional repair methods, TPLO changes the mechanics of the knee joint so the ligament is no longer needed for stability. This is especially beneficial for:
- Active & Large Breeds: Provides the strength needed for high-energy dogs.
- Faster Recovery: Most pets begin “toe-touching” and weight-bearing shortly after surgery.
- Long-term Health: Significantly reduces the progression of arthritis compared to non-surgical options.
Orthopedic Excellence in Lethbridge
Our surgical team uses state-of-the-art orthopedic equipment and precise techniques to ensure the best possible outcome. Every TPLO procedure at our clinic includes:
- Pre-Surgical Assessment: Detailed digital radiographs and bloodwork.
- Advanced Pain Management: Specialized anesthesia and post-operative pain protocols to keep your pet comfortable.
- Transparent Communication: We walk you through the entire recovery process, from the first incision to the final follow-up.
