Visit http://www.canineortho.com/index.php/... to learn more about canine ACL tears and TPLO surgery. Dr. Michael Bauer of Colorado Canine Orthopedics discusses Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery for canine Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears. You'll find out why TPLO is the best option, how the TPLO works and about healing and recovery. Dr. Bauer is a board certified veterinary surgeon and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. He shares his thoughts on canine ACL repair and TPLO. Dr. Bauer has performed thousands of canine ACL surgeries. Cranial Cruciate Ligament tears, also known as ACL tears are the most common orthopedic problem dogs face today. Unlike humans, untreated canine ACL tears are almost always debilitating. The problem is chronic biomechanical wear and tear. Clinical signs of an ACL tear in your dog may come on acutely or slowly and include lameness and sitting to the side. All breeds and any dog over one year of age can be affected. Definitive diagnosis is made using arthroscopy. The majority of board certified veterinary surgeons consider the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy to be the best repair option for canine ACL tears. In fact it has been considered the gold standard for nearly two decades. TPLO is arguably the most frequently performed small animal orthopedic procedure in history.
