Overview of TPLO Surgery for Dogs

About Dog ACL Injury

Canines that experience lameness in one of their hind legs may have ruptured their cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), similar to the ACL in humans. The CCL connects to the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) and helps hold the tibia in place. When torn, the ligament cannot heal or repair itself, which could cause damage to tissues and joints.

CCL injuries are one of the most common orthopedic problems in dogs, and one of the leading causes of degenerative joint disease. Ruptured CCLs are more common among large and giant breeds of dogs, and symptoms include hind leg lameness and inability to support weight on the injured leg.

Proper Dog Knee Diagnosis

Diagnosing a CCL injury involves taking a clinical exam and discussing the dog’s medical history. The vet will test the joint’s range of motion and perform hyperextension exercises. The use of anesthesia may be necessary to properly move the joint in order to reduce the pain or muscle tension experienced during examination. Radiographs are necessary to provide a clearer view of the injury before surgery.

Why Undergo TPLO Surgery

Dogs suffering from a cranial cruciate ligament rupture may undergo tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery. The procedure involves changing the angle of the tibial plateau (top of the shin bone) and stabilizing it into a new position. Canines that undergo TPLO surgery can restore knee mobility without relying on the damaged CCL for stability.

Recovery from TPLO surgery is crucial for the procedure’s success. As a result, exercise should be restricted for the first 12 weeks post-TPLO surgery to ensure the bone and soft tissues heal properly.

I researched every vet in Texas, and all of that research, thankfully led me to Dr. David Allman. He performed TPLO on my dog Hank in July 2021. I just walked and swam with Hank on the beach. I cannot say enough about how great he is. Every aspect of the process was seamless. Thank goodness I took my dog here. Thank you!!!!

I cannot recommend and provide enough praise to Dr. Allman, and his team. They were thorough in explaining the process, took time to listen to questions, kept us updated during the procedure and demonstrated professionalism and empathy.

We discovered our dog Mia needed TPLO surgery (ACL) in October 2021 and proceeded with the surgery that month. We are now in February 2022 and Mia is fully recovered! She’s running and playing with dogs like she was before, no limp or anything. Dr Allman and his team we’re great, I love how they had a dedicated texting line for questions because the first couple weeks of recovery is intense and I had a lot of questions lol. Highly recommend him for TPLO surgery!

We appreciate our customers taking the time to share their experiences and look forward to working with you.
