Torn knee ligament (cruciate ligament)

  • TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
  • Lateral suture stabilization when appropriate

Broken bone (fracture) repair

Torn knee ligament

TPLO for a cruciate ligament injury

For a cruciate ligament injury (a major ligament in the knee) we perform TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy), and lateral suture stabilization where that is the more appropriate choice. Surgical planning is individualized to your pet’s size, age, activity level and condition.

Every surgical patient gets an individualized anesthetic plan, continuous monitoring and pain relief before, during and after surgery. What’s included in a surgical estimate

Cost

What Surgery Costs — and What Determines the Cost

Surgical costs vary depending on your pet’s condition, the procedure, and the care required. Because an accurate estimate requires an examination, we provide a personalized written estimate after evaluating your pet rather than guessing over the phone.

We’ll review the estimate with you, explain what it includes, and answer your questions before you decide how to proceed.
