Compassionate FHO Surgery at Jupiter Veterinary Hospital
When it comes to treating cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in pets, our team at Jupiter Veterinary Hospital offers TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) surgery in Jupiter, FL. This surgery can be an effective solution to restoring your pet’s mobility and giving them another chance at a pain-free life.
CCL injuries are the most common orthopedic issue in dogs (around 85% of canine orthopedic issues). A pet cranial cruciate ligament tear is similar to ACL tears in humans. This injury can occur for many reasons, including exercise, obesity, and sudden movements, and it is not just limited to canines. A CCL tear may cause pain, instability, and difficulty walking, which, if left untreated, can lead to more serious joint problems such as osteoarthritis. At Jupiter Veterinary Hospital, we understand how critical it is to address these issues promptly and with the highest level of expertise.
TPLO surgery is the gold standard in treating CCL injuries, designed to alter the biomechanics of your dog’s knee. Unlike traditional repair methods, TPLO surgery involves rotating the tibial plateau to eliminate the need for the CCL altogether. This procedure provides immediate stability to the knee joint, allowing your pet to begin the recovery process more quickly and with less discomfort.
