Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery is one of the most effective treatments for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears in dogs. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, we specialize in performing TPLO procedures to restore stability, comfort, and mobility for pets suffering from knee injuries.
Using advanced orthopedic imaging and surgical planning, our team carefully evaluates each patient’s joint structure to determine the optimal surgical approach. The TPLO technique involves cutting and rotating the tibial plateau to neutralize the forces that cause knee instability.
The bone is then stabilized with a specially designed stainless-steel plate and screws to allow precise healing and long-term strength. Our surgeons use advanced orthopedic instruments to ensure perfect alignment and minimal trauma.
Pain control is managed through multimodal anesthesia and postoperative medication tailored to your pet’s needs. We also provide clear rehabilitation guidelines to help restore full range of motion.
Recovery time varies, but most pets begin bearing weight within days and achieve excellent long-term function after physical therapy and rest.
Animal Surgical Care of PA provides leading-edge TPLO surgery across Pennsylvania—combining orthopedic expertise with compassion for every patient.
