What is TPLO?

TPLO stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. It is a surgery performed on dogs suffering from a torn cranial cruciate ligament, which is the dog equivalent of the human ACL. If you work with an experienced surgeon, expect great results! Over 90% of dogs regain an active lifestyle with no post-operative complications.
