At Carson Animal Hospital, we are pleased to expand our surgical services to include the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) procedure. TPLO is a specialized surgery designed to stabilize the knee joint in dogs suffering from a ruptured Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL)—the canine equivalent of the ACL in humans. This condition can cause pain, mobility issues, and long-term joint instability, but TPLO has been shown to provide significant improvement, allowing dogs to return to their regular activities.
Advanced Surgical Care, Right Here at Carson Animal Hospital
While TPLO surgery is typically performed by specialists, we understand that referral to a specialist may not always be feasible for every pet owner. That’s why our team is committed to providing this advanced surgical option in-house, ensuring that all our patients have access to the care they need.
Our veterinarians have undergone extensive training to perform TPLO surgery safely and effectively, following the highest standards of veterinary medicine.
Is TPLO Right for Your Dog?
If your dog is showing signs of a CrCL injury, such as:
✔️ Limping or favoring a leg
✔️ Difficulty rising or jumping
✔️ Decreased activity or reluctance to play
We encourage you to consult with us. Together, we can determine if TPLO surgery is the best option and discuss all available treatments to support your pet’s health and mobility.
