D’ANGELIS - CRUCIATE LIGAMENT SURGERY

Usually for small to medium sized dogs with a complete or severe cruciate ligament rupture.

Most dogs return to normal activity levels, especially with rehab support. However, if one leg is affected, they are more likely to injure their other side throughout their lives.

TPLO involves cutting and rotating the bone to stabilize the knee, while d’Angelis uses a suture/implant to mimic the ligament without altering the bone.
